Is anyone else having trouble fitting back into society!

This is my first time out- ALONE and overlapping with baby’s bedtime to see a friend’s comedy sketch show. We hadn’t seen each other since September and I needed a break. While I enjoyed myself, I felt so out of place where after everyone was chatting and getting drinks and I’m like it’s getting late, I should head back for baby’s bedtime. It felt so-🗣️boo parent antics but I miss my family and we have to prepare for the week. On the other hand when I talk to most other parents I’m like we don’t have much in common either 🫤 like being a parent is where the commonality stops. Where are the moms who want to get brunch at 11:30, or catch a matinee, take a dance class and get smoothies but be home by like 4 to take a nap and prep for the next day?! I’ll even do the occasional late night thing. But it feels like no matter what crowd I’m in-I’m out. How did you all find your tribe?!

100% but I mostly feel this way around my friends that don’t have children but I’ve learned that I’m ok with that because they don’t get it yet. I’ve lost friends but I’ve also gained incredible ones at my babies gymnastics. Moms that want to surround themselves with other moms that really want to influence their children in best possible way. Hope this helps!! 💗💗

My “dance class” starts at 7-8 and doesn’t end until 1am after the social has finished 😂 I have not found dance classes during the day - most people are working, it doesn’t exist unless it’s an all weekender workshop or congress. The girls I meet there mostly aren’t mums though, but we do have that one thing in common- all there to learn and dance salsa and bachata so there’s that, I have somewhat found my tribe. My hubby can put the baby to bed though so I don’t need to be home for bedtime. And we do go for lots of brunches as well as drinks/dinner you just need to find out what time suits her better.

Big time relate. I’m still trying to find my people and my son is now 2. Not only did I become a mom but who I am as a person has undergone a radical transformation since having my boy. It’s been a transformation for the better but I don’t fit in with old friends anymore. I’m like an alien to them.

I'm the same way. I dont have any friends who have babies either. I have a 4 month old. My friends are either getting wasted at the club on Saturday, or they have older children. I can't find an in between.
