Friends

Anyone else feel like the best friends they have are on here? Or am I just incredibly sad?! I have a lot of friends but no really good friends - none that I just call up for a chat or anything... Just thinking about this cos I've been home by myself all day, bored, and I havent been able to come up with anyone to catch up with for no reason Oh well, at least I've got all my housework done (hopefully will make hubby feel bad for deserting me!)

Most of my "best friends" are online. Perhaps not on this site as I haven't been on here for very long at all. But it is a bit depressing when you are bored and wanna hang out with somebody and you can't since you haven't really met them or anything or aren't nearby.

I find that with a lot of my good friends its hard to catch up with cos we all have husbands or kids to spend time with and we are working aswell (except for me now yay) so yeah I can call them and tell them any news but if anything happens with pregnancy or I feel like a chat then I jump on here, especially since hubby works nights and Im normally sitting home by myself while my friends are all having dinner and catching up with there hubbys so dont need me butting in on thier family time.

I have just started to feel a bit down in the dumps being at home all day with my son. I love being a mum more than anything, but I do miss adult company during the day. So just a couple of days ago I came onto Ohbaby for the first time, and already I can see how wonderfull and friendly everyone is. I feel better already, and just know I am going to get addicted!! So thanks everyone, just for being here, even if you didn't realise it, you have made me feel a lot better!

Turns out we have a playcentre about 5 mins down the road frmo us in Gisborne. We are going to sart going once I'm off placement.

I am a bit over coffee group/playgroups at the moment. Just feel it all gets a bit competitive - m babies doing this or that, has all these teeth, and oh is Hannah still not rolling! Argh! Havent been to any for a while. I think maybe it will be better once the kids are running around? but then it will prob be about how far they can count or say the alphabet or something! And I would really like to talk about something other than babies, but I think all we have in common is our kids... Have just started doing some inservices with other physios in town and its so nice to talk about something else!

My friends are you guys. I feel lucky that you guys are here when I need you.... Like you Aimee I dont have many friends that I can call or what ever. I lived so many years in Bangladesh/Zimbabwe that all my closest friends are in o/seas.....

But I dont have time to be bored ...I am at work (working hard....as you see) and then at home I am busy with Zaara and cooking and cleaning etc etc....

Oh my only friend is my hubby!...mind you I cant bitch to him about my MIL....he he ha ha

I am from Taranaki - where abouts are you lenabeanz? It does feel a bit secluded (sure thats spelt wrong - hope Jax not reading this hehe) I know when I had my son I was young and no one I knew had babies most of my friends were in the uk as I had not long got back from there, I met up with another mother and we went to Playcentre - I must be honest although they were all friendly etc.. I always felt the odd one out I was 20 and a single mother and most were married , older ( most late 20's up wards and just at a different stage than me. Josh loved it though. I did not go with Brooke I ended up at parents centre felt more in common with most ppl there and they were round my age although I was older. I will probably end up at parent centre this time around as well. I plan to go back to work part time so hope fully there will be a time to work around.
