We have about 15 friends between me and DH who live in the area. The other friends get a pass because they live too far away.<br /> Actually a friend is flying in from Chicago next week! She wins the prize!!<br /> The ones who aren't interested--that is cool with me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260260 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:31:17 +0000 mrbee 260260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some are, some aren't. I don't take it personally. A lot of people who talk about their kids just go on and on, and it'd be all too easy to be that person myself if I didn't force myself to chill out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260257 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:26:40 +0000 erwoo 260257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Even ones who don't want to get married or have kids. True friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260255 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:25:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 260255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not many of my friends have kids yet, but I ask about them when we talk. I love kids though. It's so neat to see my friends with their babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260233 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:56:02 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 260233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Not all but a few. It's acually quite nice. I didn't expect that to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260219 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:35:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 260219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we actually didn't really have any friends for awhile... not until we found a new church right before I got pregnant. so the friends we have now were our friends thru my pregnancy so they all love LO, some of them have kids, some are pregnant and some will probably be getting pregnant soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260212 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:25:02 +0000 stargal 260212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup most of my friends dont have babies and they are always asking about him and bringing him stuff. there afriad to hold him though, its funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260202 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:17:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 260202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some friends where we let them take the lead. If they bring the girls up, fine but otherwise we don't talk about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260193 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:10:01 +0000 littlecasita1122 260193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you find out who your "real" friends are when you get married and then have a baby...some friends will stay interested no matter what stage you are in your life and other friends tend to disappear. This definitely happened with one of my bridesmaids - I haven't heard a peep from her since LO was born in June but at the same time, I haven't reached out to her either :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260182 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:54:38 +0000 heffalump 260182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have friends that didn't come to see her until she was over a month old. It made me really sad, and I tried to think of it like my wedding when they weren't interested because they weren't married so they didn't get it..... but I made and grew a baby in my belly! At least pretend to care!</p> <p>Of course now that they're planning weddings they want me to be all sorts of interested though. And of course I ask questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-non-parent-friends-interested-in-your-los#post-260166 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:32:56 +0000 autumnlove 260166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of my friends are interested in LO and they ask for pictures and they try to visit often. Some of my other friends never ask about her so I never bring her up and we talk about other stuff! I think they may have congratulated us when she was born but that was the last mention of the baby! </p>
