Also, sometimes I get a little peeved when people only ask about LO and not about what else is going on in my life. I'm still alive and kicking, too, you know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172536 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:54:43 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 172536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I could talk about LO all day long, but I hold back with people that don't have kids. In the back of my head I always have other things I can talk about: food/restaurants, movies (only if they've come out on dvd otherwise I haven't seen them), travel (we still travel a lot even with LO). But I love getting together with other moms, then we can talk about the kiddos the whole time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172521 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:44:01 +0000 banana 172521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to talk about non-baby/toddler things but with other fellow mamas, that's all we end up talking about! I definitely try to not bring it up with non-moms though. I'd be pretty annoyed by it (if I didn't have kids) so I'm sure they would be too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172514 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:35:26 +0000 Andrea 172514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try pretty hard not to be one of those people who can only talk about kid things! It annoys me when people are like that so I try to always talk about a variety of topics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172259 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:56:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 172259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: ps I'm still totally in love with your gravatar. Those pink feet get me every time!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172258 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:56:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 172258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES, but I'm not really apologetic about it! We try to be conscious of it when we're around couples who are not TTC or currently pregnant or already parents... but we mostly hang around people who are just as baby/toddler centric as we are. The few unmarried or pre-kid friends we have are really obsessed with Wagon Jr. and love talking about him and hearing about him. </p> <p>Everyone else kind of fell away on their own ;) I don't blame them! And I know they'll be back once they're on this road we're on! :) Life stages come and go but eventually everyone settles into adulthood together. Wagon Sr. and I got married so early, we learned this lesson very early when we thought we lost all of our single friends because we were married. One by one they are all coming back. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172251 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:53:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 172251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lucky to have quite a few pregnant friends, so when I can tell my "regular" friends are sick of hearing about my pregnancy/baby then I call them up and they are willing to talk about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172242 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:49:28 +0000 plaidpants 172242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely try to curb the baby talk (my LO is 5 months) but, like @mrbee said, I find I don't have as much going on so I don't have much else to talk about. I'm out of the conversation if it's about restaurants, movies, or pretty much anything you do after 5pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172240 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:49:21 +0000 autumnlove 172240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I need some real life Mommy/Daddy friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172216 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:39:13 +0000 mrbee 172216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah I definitely do this all the time! One challenge I run into though is that I don't have as much going on now that we have kids... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-too-babytoddler-centric#post-172207 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:32:33 +0000 autumnlove 172207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, I think I am too baby centric and I purposely avoid talking about my LO with some of my friends. Do you ever feel this way? </p>
