Work coupled with kids has been time consuming. I'm going to one of the monthly meetings I haven't been to since December. I've been so busy lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-business-networking-suffered-since-having-kids#post-2100617 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 11:29:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2100617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish my husband and others understood how much pumping at work cuts into networking time. I don't have time to chat in the halls or go to lunch with people because any free time I get is spent pumping. At the end of the day I'm racing home to see the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-business-networking-suffered-since-having-kids#post-2100599 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 11:18:46 +0000 namaste 2100599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh it's slowed down for me but I make sure DH is out in our regular meetup scene. We were smart to do a lot of netowking last year and those relationships have been beneficial since the baby has gotten here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-business-networking-suffered-since-having-kids#post-2100568 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 11:01:29 +0000 Pirouette 2100568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely! It is so hard to make time for personal friends, let alone business relationships. I hope to get back into it, but if I'm being realistic, I know that it's unlikely to happen soon since I'm pretty sure we'll have another LO eventually. It is hard to get back into it when you know it will just be put on hold again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-business-networking-suffered-since-having-kids#post-2100542 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:50:36 +0000 mrbee 2100542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to devote a fair amount of time to networking for business! Once I had my first kid, I stopped doing all that for a while and kept in touch with pretty much just my inner circle.</p> <p>Now that the kids are a bit older though, it's been a lot easier to make time for lunches, dinners and drinks! Slowly easing back into the networking world...</p> <p>Has your business networking suffered since having kids? When did you get back into it... </p>
