Hmmm...Baby #1 is napping and it's got me thinking about things. It's such a shame to see old friends change once you have had a baby. Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful, supportive friends who were and are with me through the good and bad times.
I have a great friend who is a mom to two children, married and she still takes the time to call me if she feels that I am sad, or overwhelmed with taking care of the baby. I am really lucky to have her in my corner. I have another friend who is currently going through problems in her marriage, yet she still makes an effort to spend time with me and talk. I really do feel lucky to have such nice friends in my life, I just hope I am returning the same friendship that they have given to me.
Then, there are the few who change after you have had a baby. I don't know if it's because they are jealous or not, but they just don't care to be considerate anymore. I mention this because it's the start of the Christmas holidays now and it's surprising to see who can't even make an effort to send a hello, or Christmas greeting. In this day in age where e-mails and text messages are read and sent in a second, there really is no excuse. I'm not perfect and yes I'm sure I have changed after having a baby, but I don't think I've changed for the worse.
I guess I'm just a little disappointed to find that people I thought were good friends, really aren't. Oh well, I guess it takes events like this to realize who's who.
