Friend's like to emotionally be there for other friends, and when you have a child and they don't, there is a whole huge world that they just can't understand. <BR/><BR/>It's natural I think. Look fondly on the friendship you had, and enjoy the new ones you're getting.ShankRabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108050453756230647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106357523590430742.post-81361603457071362962009-03-14T08:36:00.000-07:002009-03-14T08:36:00.000-07:00We all go through this.

Phone calls should start the ball rolling but you will never again hang out with the frequency that you used to. Real friends though will pick right up again right where you left off every time you see them.WeaselMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695797746467444304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106357523590430742.post-27946265323200086482009-03-13T19:33:00.000-07:002009-03-13T19:33:00.000-07:00i know exactly how this feels. when i got pregnant...i know exactly how this feels. when i got pregnant with my son i was 19 almost 20. my friends got weird. that's when i found out who my true friends were. whatever. i don't have friends now mostly by choice. i'm too damned picky! lolPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365631315923740004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106357523590430742.post-39350945384462696712009-03-13T16:06:00.000-07:002009-03-13T16:06:00.000-07:00I remember during MAPP classes, we were told that ...I remember during MAPP classes, we were told that our friends wouldnt be around as much.
