Guilty or not

[ash677x]

Should I feel like a bad friend? Lately i haven't really been bothering with my friends as much. Now I work, and have a 7 year old, and the last two weekends she has been at my mums for a sleepover and I would rather sit and have a Nigbt in than see my friends. I don't feel depressed, but just wonder why I have no motivation to see anyone? When my daughter gets home all I want to do is spend my time with her and my day is complete. But don't want to get called a bad friend for not lifting the phone.

And what happens when your DC is 18 and out seeing HER friends...

Are they friends you don't really want? Nothing wrong than staying in sometimes but keep up the friendships some of the time or make new ones, you'll end up lonely when you do need them.

Dont feel guilty. Real Friends are there no matter what. I always periods where I don't contact my friends. I have 3 kids under the age of 11 and my friends understand that maybe I might not be in the mood or tired but are always there when you want a chat. My closest friend lives in another country and we would chat maybe once every couple of months.
