Today, I am in mourning...

Last night I found out my BFF, who is one of the only people I know IRL that is on my anti-baby bandwagon got knocked-up. She is upset and now I have to find someone else who hates babies.

  • Aww, congrats to her. Sorry about losing your anti-baby friend!

    I don't think the OP was saying they can't be friends. Just that she'll have to find someone else to complain about babies with if they go to a movie and some as$-hat's toddler is crying through the whole thing.

    I have a feeling my BFF will get pregnant soon and leave me alone in the anti-baby fan club. I am the only one of my female friends that have had the talk with their husbands and said, "You know what? Babies aren't for us." All the rest of them are talking babies like it's a forgone conclusion. 

    I bet we'll end up becoming friends with a bunch of older couples whose kids are already out of the house. Ha!

    This.  I'm not saying we can't be friends.  In back I know we will remain friends, I just enjoyed having someone who wasn't constantly talking about their kid and its milestones.  Or could hang out whenever without having to hunt down a babysitter or get home early, etc...

  • aww, I know exactly how you feel.   The unexpected KU's are even harder to take than the planned ones.

     I will hope for your sake that she doesn't become super mombie and forget that your friendship is also important, so things don't change too drastically between you.  I am lucky that my BFF is not super annoying or babyminded even though she has a 2 year old, so things didn't really change too much between us except having to schedule sitters and such.
