Single and in Debt Part II

Hi makeup

If it makes you feeling any better I agree so we can be bad people together :rolleyes:

One of my friends has a 10 month old baby and all meetings/conversations do tend to revolve around the baby :mad:

It's not a jealousy thing, or resentment but there is more to life

Make up, you are not a selfish person at all. I would feel exactly the same. That's 3 bad people:D

Hi Shoegal and Makeup
i whole heartedly agree too:T
This also applies to people who buy houses and go on non-stop about struggling to afford life and furnish their houses in laura Ashley, lakeland and Debenhams stuff:rolleyes:

Welcome to the 'bad gals'

makeup

I am dreading the endless conversations - it is the same when someone gets married....there are only so many 'wedding favour' conversations I can have!!!!

Luckily my sister and several pals have had kids so I can hold my own in baby / child conversations but it is always a bit removed from me as I'm only ever talking about other peoples experiences.

I now have urge to go out and get drunk and be crazy and meet some inappropriate men!!!

Hello all,

Shoe Gal & makeup - you are not bad people at all, you are exactly the kind of friends I loved when I had my DD - friends without children who just wanted to spend time with me & talk about the usual girl stuff

But then I was a bit odd; couldnt stand the mother & toddler style groups & lets all be frumpy & boring now we've got children type of people.

My best friend kept me sane - & reminded me that I was still me & not just a mother devoid of any life beyond nappies etc .She would happily turn up with bottles of wine ( no, I didnt do that breastfeeding malarkey - so shoot me 6 months is plenty long enough to abstain thank you) & would kindly accept phone calls at odd hours of the night to coincide with feeding schedules. Years on & now that she is in the hospitality business I return the favour by accepting her late night/early morning calls.

The friendship may change & even wane a bit while your friend acclimatises herself to being a parent but I urge you to stick with it & become the friend who releases her from duty now & then & provides the fun without frump.

I dearly love my childless best friend; she has never dumped her kids on me, passed on measles, mumps or chicken pox, never suggested that I have a soft drink rather than a large G & T, never told me that I really should grow up now that I'm a mother & provides hours of amusement when we recall our much misspent youth

I intend to be that friend my friend has been in the wilderness far too long :eek:

I updated my blog finally... www.a-year-in-oz.blogspot.com

My mate is trying to set me up with this girl, I remain unconvinced, I almost want to deliberately blow my chances so I don't get attached.
