FOMO

I totally get it 😭. Although I know if I were to go out I wouldn’t have fun because of mom guilt and honestly my social battery dies super fast lol. But yes it’s the fact that you get to have the option to even go. The good news is is that we won’t be tied down forever! One day our little ones will be grown and won’t need us and we’ll have all the freedom and we’ll be super sad 🥲🥲

Ugh yes! Halloween is my favorite holiday! Usually I make my own tiny (sexy) costume and this year I’m so pregnant 😩 no clubs no costume contests and I can’t even work 😩😩 seeing my friends and old coworkers dressed up today gave me such fomo! I use to bartend in some super cool nightclubs and bars and this year I’m gonna hand out candy in an old tshirt 🥲

How old is your baby? Do you have a partner that can look after baby while you go? I’m not childless and I go out dancing/see friends weekly. I went out to a Halloween event last night and came home at 1.30. Back then when I was BF I’d leave my milk behind for Hubby and he would feed the baby that, babys usually asleep and ready to wake for a Bf by the time I get home. If you can, go. Just because we’re mums doesn’t mean we can’t go out have fun. I have another event on the 2nd and a Latin festival in a couple weeks that I’m going to. But we have seasons in our lives that we can’t go out as much and seasons we can, I find after baby is 1 it’s much much easier. Maybe you can go to next years’ Halloween events.

@Harlie dress up to give out candy! My lil one is 2mos and we’re dressing up and going nowhere 😂

I totally get it. I have an 18 y/o and a 2mo baby. So I’m moving backwards. I don’t go out much but when I do it’s Halloween 😭😂 so I’m missing out this year but I’ll definitely have a sitter or dad watch lil one next year 😂

Nah. Idk. To me, the meaning of life is to make the world a better place and raise good people who will also go on to make the world a better place, in some small way. It's not necessarily that I judge people who don't have kids but I'm not jealous of them. And I suppose I assume most of my friends will have kids. In fact I was first but my oldest is 5 and every woman from my original friendship group, even extended, has kids now except one.

@Kellie He’s 5 months old and is super attached to me. I live in a town where there is nothing fun to do lol I’d have to be gone half a day to do anything!

@Ella aww that’s nice you have a friend group like that. I’m hoping I can find some friends with kids around my son’s age but I’m sure that will take some time considering he’s only 5 months old! If he wants to do pee wee sports I’m sure I’ll find some mom friends then! Haha

@Lalita I don’t live in an area where kids come to my house 😭

Yes, and it’s making me depressed. It’s unfair that my bd can go out and does on occasion and I can’t.

@Sierra my boyfriend doesn’t go out without us unless it’s for work and one time he went fishing with a friend but he was only gone for about an hour. He prefers to spend all his free time with us, but I really want to get away 😂
