Alone

My little girl will be 3 in May and I’ve not made a single friend the whole time. I dread her birthdays . I don’t know what to do for her birthday as we have no friends. I am pregnant with my second and will also be due in May. I think at least I will be able to give her a friend in a sister. I just worry about it impacting her ability to make friends when she is older. She goes to nursery and and she is a happy friendly girl and seems to be interested in other kids. I just feel so bad I haven’t been able to get play dates and friends for her. I have tried to make friends but I think I’m just the type of person people don’t like to be around .

Hey, My daughter is also 3 in May, I’d be happy to meet up for a play date or a little birthday celebration for her? Xxx

I feel this 100% Inbox me, happy to chat, I’m struggling with making mom friends, my youngest is 3 in May too x

I’m in the same boat. My little boy will be 3 in June and I don’t have any friends to go on play dates with but I know he has friends at nursery so I know he’s able to socialise there. I’ve also got a 7 month old daughter and I’m trying to make new friends at baby groups but it’s hard as everyone seems to have their friendship groups. There’s one mum who I’m talking to and we’ve met once so I’m hoping my little girl will have a friend. Try not to beat yourself up about it though, if you’re little girl is making friends at nursery then that should mean she’ll be fine when she’s older, plus you’ll have chance to make friends with mums when she goes to school too.

Drop us a DM! We’d be happy to celebrate with you guys 🥳

Hey, same here. I have a boy born in May, message me 😊 We should all meet up and become friends and in may we should have great birthday parties for our kids 😁

Have you asked her nursery who she is friends with? You could have a little party and invite some of those? We have had our first invite for a party in March but I don't know the parents of the child. My older daughter too had a few parties from nursery friends. Try not to beat yourself up about it, I find it hard to talk to new people too, especially when tired from parent life! Probably lots of others feeling similar.

Message me :) x

Hi! I have a girl who will be 3 in May & I am also expecting my 2nd in May 🤗 Have you checked out local playgroups in your area? I found the council/church ones really helpful in getting myself and my baby out there to meet new people/friends if that’s what you’re looking to do ☺️

I am in the same boat as all of my friends haven't had children yet. But as a child myself, I remember I started making friends only when I was in pre-school. I had a cousin and my brother but that was it. I don't worry about it as everything will come at its own time. My son goes to nursery so he gets plenty of time to socialise.
