Re: I'm officially the only one left :(

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in my 30s and while I have a husband, I have no children and no desire to have children. I understand that kids are time-consuming and such, but I find it really dull that these small snot factories are the only thing worth talking about with some parents. I was afraid of getting married because I didn't want to lose my identity and be wrapped up in being "wife", so even though I got over that fear, the fear of losing myself to "mom" is way way more. At least I can reason with my husband, I can't reason with a screaming poop factory.

All that to say, I totally feel your pain, OP. I had friends, close friends, that dumped me when they got pregnant. They just stopped talking to me and wanting to hang out with me and traded me out with other moms and moms-to-be. And while I can understand the need to surround yourself with a support group that's Been There, I still wish I'd at least been given a chance and not just totally cut out. It actually got to the point where I hated pregnant women, because I was transferring that pain onto them.

Your mom is wrong. It's not too much to expect at least some attempt to keep you included regardless of whether you have children or not, especially if you're still making an effort to be involved yourself. Even so, it's a dread I feel every day...when is this friend going to cut me out because they have a kid? When do I have to stop being friends with you because I can't commiserate about changing diapers and getting spit up on?
