I'm lucky to have a lot of friends - my BFF (who I see approx weekly and talk to most days), 5 very close female friends who I make time to see (maybe once a month each - and I talk to them regularly) and several others who I see less frequently. Then DH and I have a social circle of couples (and a few who are not in couples) who were his friends when we first met but are both of our friends now - and we see them perhaps once a month, maybe more often. </p> <p>I'm not sure how all this socialising will work out once LO is here as most of it is pub related - but my BFF and three of the couples we hang out with have young babies so maybe we will hang out at the soft play in future!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-real-life-social-interactions-with-people#post-640724 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:17:47 +0000 Mrs. Polish 640724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: it used to be at work, but since I'm on leave I'm feeling pretty isolated.

My husband says I'm a hermit. I just don't have the energy or emotional strength to deal with how pushy/nosy people are when talking to a pregnant woman, so I kind of avoid talking at all.</p> <p>So that leaves me with my midwives, other pregnant women (like the one I chatted with for half an hour in walmart yesterday about iron deficiency and where to find good dairy-free ice cream), and... that's kind of it.<br /> I use self-checkout after four or five cashiers decided to make comments on my purchases and whether or not things were healthy for baby (and incidentally, my items were perfectly healthy). *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-real-life-social-interactions-with-people#post-640600 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:53:28 +0000 illumina 640600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friends, that's about it.
