I get both though. It’s exhausting to hear a friend drone on and on about their baby and nothing else matters anymore. Not even you 😢

I get both sides. I backed off a friend cuz it was all “you don’t understand cuz you’re not a parent” and life is meaningless until you are a parent”.

The second I got pregnant my friends stopped inviting me to things or coming over. I got the “oh I was going to invite you but I assumed you wouldn’t want to come because you’re pregnant”.

As a childless person, it gets difficult after a friend has a child. Often it seems they lose their identity and every conversation is about their child or being a mom. I can’t relate so it’s hard.

Out of sheer emotional survival, I had to stay away from babies and moms. I was in fertility treatments for 8 years. It was really hard.

this happened to me when I was only 3 months pregnant and going through it. The friend told me she couldn't handle losing another friend due to having a child so she ended our friendship.

I can only take so many kids birthday parties, the bunch more money spent on the kids, the events invites for so long when I don't get a birthday gift, dinner missed, or adult events missed.

I'm the unmarried childless middle-aged woman, so I've been the one to lose friends when they got married or pregnant. I didn't know this also happened the other way!

then there's us who try everything to support and love and be there for our mom friends. but we get pushed away because "we just don't understand" or "you'll never understand" so I stopped trying to.

My two best friends have been consumed by motherhood they don’t respond to me anymore. If I am not the one reaching out they stop don’t contact me.

Told my best friend of 12 years I was pregnant last September. She knew we were trying for a baby and wanted to be an auntie and all this but after we told her she became distant and then just stopped

I’ve been the childless friend and the one pregnant. Friendships go both ways. It’s selfish to think my friends need to stick around if I (pregnant) and making them feel like they don’t “understand “.

My ex best friend that helped us name our first born walked out my house when he was 3 months old and I never heard from her again. That was 9 years ago. Still run into her around town too

This is why I have no friends but fellow committed childfree people. I am just not compatible with parents, and that’s not their fault. So i don’t make friends with either parents or want-to-bes.

This happend to me but she point blank said I don't want to hangout with your kid with you. Eventhough I was now going to be a stay at home mom so I was always with my kiddo.

I get it. I get ignored and not included since I'm not a mom and get told no when I make plans, but when I don't invite them or visit them, I'm the bad guy.
