This topic is all over my head for a while. Surprisingly Emily is facing the same issue, yet mine is quite different from hers...at least I get no pressure from "adults". My best friends started having babies since 2 years ago. I don't get to hang out with them as much anymore. I shifted myself to be more involved with another group of friends who has no babies in their family; yet those are starting to get pregnant this year. I am moving on to a fourth group of friends now. It's pretty tiring to expand the friend network all the time...
Friends will be friends for life. But obviously we have a different priorities now. During different gatherings, while they are talking about how their babies have grown, what they've learned to do, morning sickness, school district, breastfeeding... Me, on the other hand, still talking about this drama is touching, and that drama is so romantic. Sometimes, I just feel so stupid to talk about these "sesame green bean" matters compared to their important BABY talk.
I still enjoy hanging out with their babies sometimes, it's fun to watch them play, but just not too too often. I hate myself to be an uninvolved auntie. I hate to be "separated" with my brother. We used to be so closed, now...with his baby Sky...I'm going further & further away. I tried my best to fit in, but it's just too hard to share the same interest @ this time. I'm sure my friends are pretty sick of my philosophy. OH well... they are my friends, they should know me by now.
