Now people will not even ask about LO or talk to her, they still just want to pet the dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803457 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:25:10 +0000 sunny 803457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get approached by other moms and I have started approaching other moms too. So having my LO has given me more confidence in talking to new people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803447 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:21:24 +0000 MrsRoo 803447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: that's exactly how I thought I would be ( and how I was before having a baby). I'm usually the ultimate grump who doesn't even like chatting with my hair stylist! Maybe becoming a mom made me soft.... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803435 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:17:55 +0000 hellobeeboston 803435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! I feel like i have had more random convos with people in stores, on the street, in the park because of LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803329 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:46:49 +0000 rachiecakes 803329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: same. the exact opposite for me.<br /> I used to go out all the time with my girlfriends and now I don't get the opportunity as often. Even when I go out with J and my friends, I miss out on half the conversation because I'm engaging with my boy. :) oh well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803317 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:42:43 +0000 Andrea 803317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: lol. I do the same thing. I think it is a bit annoying that EVERYONE wants to talk to you and make faces at the baby. Haha. Sorry to sound like such a grump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803283 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:31:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 803283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol no...it's the opposite. I use him as an excuse to be anti social. If we're at a get together, I just get absorbed in him and ignore people who I don't like. Or if I'm out and about, I'll just play with him (like in my yard) and I won't talk to the 100 people who jog by. I sound bad now....but sometimes I don't feel like being social;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-force-you-to-become-more-social#post-803278 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:29:25 +0000 MrsRoo 803278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have finally ventured out of the house alone with little lady the last few days, wearing her in the Moby each time. I have never had so many conversations with random strangers in my life! I guess I never had a very approachable look to me, so I've never dealt with people making small talk. I like this though, I even got invited into a local baby wearing group!</p> <p>When you go out with your LO are you more social/ nicer to strangers? </p>
