Mother to young children says she has “no friends” – and other women can relate

A woman shared a sincere post about emotion as if she has done “Absolutely no friends” – And it turns out that many other women can behave.

The woman, who says she is in the early 30s, revealed her experience at “Relationships” Forum on the British -based parenting site Mumsnet. She started her post by writing, “I don’t really know how it happened when I used to have friends but everyone drove away from me.”

“I have tried to meet people at baby and toddler groups, I have suggested to meet people I am friendly with at work. I have gone out with my (husband) friends partners but nothing gets stuck, she continued.

She went on to say that she is currently on maternity leave And mostly spend her days alone with her children – which she says “is good” but adds “I don’t hear from any adults at all.”

The woman ended her post by saying that she feels that she “sounds so pathetic” and asked her members in society if there is “anyone else like me?”

The post was quickly flooded by comments from other women who say they can completely relate to OP’s (original poster) dilemma – and were relieved that someone else put words on the experience.

“I too. In the 20th century I worked with many singlet tones with lots of time and extra cash for nights. How life changes with children, ”wrote a woman. “I have now moved a number of times, children in secondary (school) and I am self -employed,” she continued. “So I have zero friends. What doesn’t happen as I thought would (happen) make mom friends through school.”

“I think it’s harder to make friends The older you get; The people’s friendship groups are often in stone and they are not open to forming new ones, ”wrote another person.
