sad new years...

[kayjor04]

did anyone else have an awful hard time this new years? once babe fell asleep for the night i found myself in tears, because all i could think about was... "i'm 21 yrs old... all my friends are out having fun, and i'm home, by myself."
*sigh* this year did not start off on a good foot (except babe finally sitting on her own haha)

Sorry that it wasn't a great night but its cool that Jordyn is sitting up by herself now

 

[brownhairedmom]

Awww. I did sort of for the first part of the night. Especially because Renah was throwing a fit the whole night and there was nothing that could be done to consol her! But she finally went to sleep about an hour before the new year and I imposed myself on my sisters friends and had a good time

I firmly believe that 2009 is going to be an excellent year for us 2008 single mommy's!

oh hun, i'm sorry you had a tough time but seriously new year is overrated and you have something far more important to bring you smiles...your lovely little baby

i work behind a bar at a nightclub (though giving it up soon due to bubs) and new year was full of drunk idiots starting fights with each other and bumping into each other and getting stressed...you didn't miss much!

perhaps for this year you could meet some new peeps in a similar position to you (ie with children) who would be up for having a 'calm but fun' house gathering next new years so you could still join in with baby in tow??? i don't know if you belong to any mother and baby groups but if not it could be great for you to join, cos you're certainly not the only one in your position but you'll feel like you are if you don't meet more peeps to share with...that way you'll have your clubby friends and mummy friends

yeah i used to work ina bar/restauranr scene too, how far along are you?!
I dont think i'd go downtown now if i had the option... its just not my scene anymore... i think i was more upset cause none of my friend thought "well maybe she needs some compant tonight"

as for mommy and baby playgroups... so far i havent been able to find anything, but i dont REALLY know where to look. its frustrating. haha. Oh welllll. maybe a few of my closer friends will have babies this year. then they'll understand more of how i feel.

 

[wantababybump]

I really REALLY wish I had of come over and spent new years with you Maybe next year I will have a baby and we can spend new years together!! That stupid storm didnt help much or I probbly would have cabbed it over or taken a bus!! Love you bunches!! xx

 

[wishingonastar]

i'm just over 13 weeks so next new years i'll be in same position as you!

a lot of our mother and baby groups in england are offered at local community centres, so maybe you could start by asking there? do you still have a health visitor involved? if so they'd know...or probably your local doctors surgery could tell you

[kayjor04]

well congradulations
I might look into that!!! i'm not sure where any community centers are around here... but i'll surely look into it. thanks!!!! No more health visitor, i found her to be more a pain in my butt then a help.

Cilla - that WAS NOT in anyway directed at you. I love you, and your amazing. you had your hubby at new years

I have a few friends who are starting their own baby group. Do you have other friends who have kids that you could get together for playdates sometimes?

 

[missjacey44]

I rang my mum crying at 6pm because the amount of phone calls and msgs on facebook i had from friends asking if i have a babysiter and want to go out.. I got so upset and thought iv had the worst year of my life 2008 and i just want to go out and have fun for one night! So mummy felt sorry for me and came over and babysat!

I had the SAME problem, called my mum crying for the same reason. i had friends who were just having a few ppl over to their houses for a drinks and whatnot asking me to come if i could get a sitter... My mum was working tho... so she couldnt sit

rae05 I have a few friends who are starting their own baby group. Do you have other friends who have kids that you could get together for playdates sometimes?

I have a few friends who also have babies but they seem to all have their own lives, and dont have time for playdates... they're all married and engaged, or decided to go back to work early... so its hard... i need to meet some new women with babies.

 

[wantababybump]

I know it wasnt intended at me! Just wanted to say I was thinking about you and wish we could have hung out especially with me having such a terrible new years day xx

 

[wishingonastar]
