I'm at the age where a bunch of friends are having kids and some aren't so we are kinda caught in the middle. My hubby and I aren't really sure where we fit in anymore and are feeling a bit left out.
I'm just kinda gathering a general opinion of what people think? I'm at the age where a bunch of friends are having kids and some aren't so we are kinda caught in the middle. My hubby and I aren't really sure where we fit in anymore and are feeling a bit left out.
? What are you feeling left out of? It a decision that only you & your husband can make, no one else.
I can totally understand her feelings about being "left out." I'm very good friends with three other women. Three of us are married and moms. One is neither, although she is engaged. She and I are best friends and she often confides in me that she's not sure how to bring up "girl time" outings and the like because she doesn't want to interfere with family time. She knows I'm usually willing to go whenever (I love my son, but he is 22 months old and throwing tantrums right and left. I can only deal with him in small spurts. LOL). But she does feel like the odd one out.
On the flip side, we have another group of friends, who are mostly younger than us and we are the only ones with a kid right now. So when we get together to watch football or have cookouts/parties, we're the ones showing up with "the child." We're all good friends and everyone loves him and it's totally cool. But I think if you're the only one in a certain situation or NOT in that situation, it might be in the back of your mind, even if you're really, really good friends.
I don't think of my friends as 'moms' or 'dads', I think of them as people.
I don't assume they don't like kids, I really don't try to figure out why they don't have kids. None of my business, really.
No, I'm not jealous...why would I be? My life is pretty amazing!
