NO FRIENDS!

Thank you, I remember leaving Cole (eldest) at nursery for first time-he started about 22 months, one day a week,-having had me to himself all the time it took him a little while to get settled like you say, but he loves it-looking forward to free sessions when he's 3 so he can go more! there seem to be more people in the same boat than i imagined-as I always seem to see mums together,felt like i was one of the only ones walking with her little ones on her own, but like u say-just a case of keeping contact other ways, thanks again x

Hi there, i too am in a similar boat. I have a toddler and have lived in Lincolnshire for the last 8 years. The only people i know are people i work with. I worried about my son not getting input from other kids so have sent him to a nursery for 1 - 2 days a week from the age of 7 1/2 months and i have noticed a real change in his confidence levels. He is no longer shy with people he doesnt know and responds better to children his won age. He struggles alittle with me leaving him there each time but soon gets over it when he spots the toys he doesnt normally play with and when we go to pick him up, he's full of beans and really happy. As for me i still dont really have many friends but i keep in contact with my old mates via email and phone. I sometimes wish i had someone to go out with but the perks of having my boy out weigh the loneliness i feel sometimes.
try your local community centres. They are quite good for making friends and for providing alternative enjoyment for your children.
All the best. :D

My sister had her little girl at 30 weeks and that was scary-I cant imagine what it must have been like with your twins! But it sounds like they're bounding around and keeping you active!! Thnks for reply, x

our son is now 21 months old, Ive moved around the country over the last 10 years and have totally lost contact with all my friends, I do still keep in contact with some via email and facebook. outside work I dont have any friends, we bring our son to playgroup 2 times a week and thats about it....
when our son was born I use to be on here all the time but havnt been for ages....take care

Thank you, there is a good sure start near me I used to take my eldest when he was little-been putting it off as a bit daunted by not being able to watch toddler whilst feeding or something! just need to pluck up the courage, im sure they'll be staff etc that'll keep an eye out, thanks again for reply-congrats on no 3! x

I kind of agree with that actually!I love being at home with the boys and often think about the time when they'll be off at school and no longer in our little bubble anymore as two is definately enough for me! Eldest does go to nursery as well, and looking forward to him having his free sessions when he's 3! Im the same with just messaging friends aswell-cant go out really whilst still breast feeding!! Thanks for writing back x

yep im a b!lly no mates lol. wel i do have friends but i only speak 2 them on txt really. if im honest i cant really be botherd with friends :s id rather just stay in with my family. it is nice 4 your kids 2 have someone 2 play with but theirs plenty of other ways like playgroups and stuff like that and when your youngest is older thay can play 2gether :) friends seem 2 disapear wen u have kids......x

Hi there.. I would say the same thing. Maybe a surestart group or baby massage.
Lots of women go along who are like you and need some people to talk to.
Hope something helps. x
