babe, is very very common just last week my quite close friend sms me.. saying although we met at the steamboat session, but she felt drifted from me. and after i've given birth i'm a total different person. everything is about isaac and other bbs. i spend the whole morning and have a thot about it.. i guess she is right. now my msn list i chat more with mommies than my close friend unless she is also a mom or she is new mom friend i've made.
Then again, having to say this every single weekend i'm always pack with programs. And I always have the motto whenever i go my son will have to come along with me. So most of my gatherings bb, me & my hb will go. activies of coz' have change a lot coz' of me, either we go places which is bb friendly, or we will hang at someone house for a swim then bbq session or steamboat or pot luck. Sometimes we will just hang for coffee session.
For your information, most of my kaiki friends are not married so let alone having children. So sometimes i will shake leg while they play with my son haha..
Like what Draik says, is the effort that counts. Most of the time i make the effort to arrange programs so all of us will still keep in contact. is not easy, but i'm sure there's a way.
If you can leave your kid with some good caregiver, go for movies with yr hb, friends, sing ktv.. etcs..
Which i miss my ktv session very much!!!.. good friends are very understanding, trust me.. u will find gatherings are actually quite fun after marriage / birth. coz' the topics are more open hee heee..
Even making new friends.. is also needs to be maintain, not just pop in and exit from forum. Sometimes is always good meet up, not only u benefit, even yr child will also benefit
Now my personal time is only weekdays, be it if facial, massage, gym, friends prefer w/o bb & hb ard.. then i will set it as weekdays after work. or take leave to do all these personal time.
hope this is able to help you to ease yr monday blueessssss......
