Any thoughts on how to move on?
So I just found out that my best friend is pregnant. It's exciting because she only had a small window of time to try to have a baby due to some complications.
This now leaves me and my husband as the only couple within BOTH of our circle of friends who are married without kids. We've only been married for 8mos so we are no where close to trying to have kids. Most of the couples have been married for over 2 years. I'm having a real hard time not wanting to join them and start having kids ourselves. But DH does not have a job at the moment so financially we want to wait.
I feel sooo left out though. Now all of our friends have kids and here we are kid-less. We've been left out before- when they all got married and we were still dating. I am truely happy for all of these couples and I am no where ready for a baby but how can I keep being happy while being left behind???
Re: Any thoughts on how to move on?
Find some new child free friends to hang around for now. Take up a hobby or get a pet.
Words out of my mouth.
I agree with the PP's. I'd also like to add, that it is OK to talk to your BFF. Be honest. Let her know that while you and YH are currently childfree, you are so excited for all your mom friends and want to be included in activities, even the play dates. Just be warned that there will be a LOT of baby talk.
I am glad you are not bringing a child into the world until you and YH are more financially stable.
Yep. That's what we're doing. Gonna hobby and pet parent it up for a few more years.
