When did you stop hanging out with friends?

[LA~Poulet]

Never (although it is less frequent, not once a week). I have mom friends who are more like minded, but I still stay in touch with my single friends.

Oh long ago! When i stopped going to the same church as them! and when yep like you said the whole "lets go party every weekend /weekday " was just getting to be to much.
this happens when you move from one stage of your life to the next you lose common ground with your friends. you can still hang occasionly but I found once I had kids it really changed just cause you cant come and go as you used to and well usually you end up talking about your kid and well they dont relate cause they dont have one.
its been awhile but some of them caught up with me and now we hang out again.

I never really liked girls all that much. They are the drama starters

I just need to find the right kind of girls I guess.

Being so young the only young mom I know I avoid like the plage. Shes currently cheating on the father (who adopted her 1st child and has been with her since she was preggo) of her child.

Ughh please hide me from these people...

lol

i stopped 'hanging out' in college. ever since that age area i just never got into hanging out.

really i like to spend time doing things with friends but not really hanging out all the time or anything.

Sarah, there is a very easy answer. you don't need any excuses etc. it doesn't matter what is going on or anything else. if you don't like the circle of friends you are in, divorce them. cut ties and move on. it will not be fun, there may be consequences. bow out and move on. you don't have to explain or anything. just simply move on.

that's growing up. it's just part of the territory. and you don't necessarily HAVE to make new friends. that may come, and it may not. be secure in yourself and be done with it. relationships that are that much work are not worth it.

We all make life transitions that can separate us from the people around us. Circumstances weigh heavily here. If you see your friends primarily in one place and you decide it is best not to be hanging out in that place such as a bar, you may lose acquaintances or drinking buds. A friendship is a lot like a marriage and other major aspects of our lives, it is a decision. It is usually a good, pleasant decision to make but one born of mutual interest and respect for the other person.

The above was my way of saying, look closely and make a friend or two for life. It is well worth it to have someone to know you warts and all and vice versa. Friends in real life is also what I mean, we all put our best foot forward on the internet and it is a somewhat distorted image of who we actually are.

Proverbs 27:17

17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another.


A good friend will tell you when you are headed the wrong way and that is something that we all need from time to time.

Agreed.


Sometimes I wanna delete my FB just because I worry about what everyone else is doing...even though I dont really care or get annoyed that these people are like they are

I would but alot of my family is on there and I like to stay in contact with them..
Hmm

The only time I have with my old friends is reading what they write on facebook and occasionally I comment but otherwise DH is my best friend and I have my kids and my immediate family. I email my mother daily, sister usually every other day and brother about once a month. I left my hometown for college and never returned, most of my friends did the same. Cell phones were not around when we went to college so we didn't have that instant contact you can get now to stay in touch, makes a big difference!

You've got kids now and they become the center of your life!!
Good Luck!!
