Hi, I've been looking online for a while about groups or ways of meeting people in a similar position to my husband and I, but I'm struggling to find anything so thought I'd post on here!
Between us we don't have many family members that are around or that want to be! On my husbands side we really only have his Mum and step Dad who do make an effort but aren't in great health. My family are more complicated! My mum is not a hands on Nana at all and even though I have two older siblings, their children are a lot older than ours so aren't in the same stage of life as we are. On top of that my brother doesn't speak to my Mum or sister, so the family get together's that did happen when their children were younger don't happen any more! We have two children 5 and 2 and I feel so strongly that I want more people in their lives. We have some good friends however most of them have really good, strong supportive families, which I suppose highlights the fact that we don't.
I don't want to wallow as I can't changed our families and want to do something positive to change it, so that's why I thought about starting a group for people with a similar mindset and situation? It would be lovely to meet other families that have similar experiences and that can share these important times with xx
