Get out. Make friends. Meet people in NJ.

Looking for new friends

I haven't been on here for a while-a bit of craziness lately. Me & my husband found out in February we are expecting our first :o) We're excited & happy, but it also doesn't seem real. Anyway, needless to say-if it was at all difficult find new friends before, it seems even more difficult now that I'm considered "prego". My one closest girlfriend gave me a "congrats" and has ignored any comments I've made regarding the pregancy & basically seemed to be disgusted at the idea. So needless to say, I think the friendship is over. Anyway, would love to make new girlfriends-whether they are also pregnant or new moms or anyone at all really -just because I'm having a baby doesn't mean I've got a disease! LoL.

Hey Josie,

Your 'ex' friend doesn't seem to be a great person, especially when they should be celebrating the wonders of nature with you rather than ignoring you. Im obviously not a pregnant woman or a new mom, but I am a friendly person. I have experience with kids as my sister in law and brother have three of them and ive been around for each of their births. Write back and let's become friends :)

Chat soon,

Keil

Hi, congratulations on having a baby -- so sorry to hear about your friend's attitude. I have a lot of friends who are having kids -- first or some onto the second! -- or just married and single ones and all kinds of "life stages" as someone else here put it. And then there's me -- I have a 9-year-old stepdaughter so I'm a "mom ... sort of." Anyways, I'm a big proponent of the idea that having kids doesn't mean you can't have a life and anyone who doesn't understand that, I don't need. So I hope to see you at some events, or drop me a line, I don't think I live that far from you.
Cheers,
Debi

Hey Josie. first off congratulations! Having a baby is such a blessing, and you don't need people in your life that don't support you and what happens in your life. You are better off without her if she is like that. As I've gotten older, I've had a falling out with a friend as well, so I can relate. Well, I am new on here, just joined, hopefully we can chat soon if you'd like :) -Jenny

Congrats! I'm a new mother myself - my baby boy is 6 weeks old! Some friendships can change, butthey don't have to - it is a lot harder getting out now, but it's definitely important to keep those good friendships going since being a parent is tiring!!!!!
