Envious of other friendships within circle of friends

[SigourneyBeaver]

I am a name changing regular.

I have had a group of good pals since ds was born nearly 3 yrs ago. We meet up once a week and from time to time go out for a meal or whatever.

3 of the women have become really close as naturally happens. However, I am really envious. Their kids all play well together becasue they see each other every couple of days and I feel sorry for ds and the others because they kind of shut them out.

I know I am being ridiculous, but I am still feeling this way. It feels worse too because it was me who did all the early rushing around to set our little group up and found us a place to meet.

I fear I am a fool.

Danger of t'internet.

If only you knew how un school marmish I actually am SB. I find that comment rude, too.

I am fuming because you put words into my mouth. And I didn't surmise that from your "tone", you actually typed it out for all to see.

If I actually did think something along the lines of "why don't you just get a life?" I wouldn't have bothered to contribute to your thread.

Anyway, I'll leave you to it and not offer my advice.

can we move off this subject and chat about the OP? not helping eithe......?

I am goiong to stay at my friends house tomorrow in her city, we are going out for the evening and she wants to intorduce me to her 'other' friends Not sure how thats goint to go, hate those situations. Just hope its a nice night after I have figured out what to wear, what to say etc etc ....lol

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway....

again, my thanks for the posts about feeling the same way. They do fit together I suppose and yes, I am a bit envious of their ladies wot lunch lives.

God, I have years of this to go, haven't I?

God, yes, CM, the dreaded friends-of-friends situation.

In the words of Father Ted, "Just be yourself Dougal."

well i will do, I guess yuo tend to think, well if (xxx) thinks they are great then we will because were friends but it dont always work like that does it

Hey Sigourney

Know what you mean - have a similar scenario and it annoys me that I get but I do, I just do.

'S'normal, is what I think I'm saying. No fool you.
