I feel the divide between myself and my friends because we were the first in our group of friends to have my babies at 26 and 28. I made new friends through my babies (while still trying to stay in touch with old ones) and then later my friends then started theirs when mine were between 5 and 7. Now their babies are older and my friends I made with children the same age as mine have 9 and 11 year olds as mine are and now I find myself due to give birth number three. So I feel I don't fit in with anyone now. They all have the reaction "oh god so glad it's not me!" Which hurts everytime you hear it, and gets old real quick. Some have been positive but not many..yes it was a surprise pregnancy and yes I'm now 37, and yes its Ok for them to think it but do they have to keep saying it.
So thats my story, gets abit lonely at times but soon I'll be juggling three kids so hopefully I won't have time to feel too lonely.
All the best
Cheers Missy
