[quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if I'm unusual in this sense. I'm 32, work FT (as does DH) and we have a 2 year old, so we don't have a ton of time to keep up with our existing friends, much less make new ones.

I would say I have one close female friend (DH is my best friend). She has a kid about a year older than DD, and we see them about once a month. I work with her, so I talk to her every day at work. We confide in each other and are very close.

Then there's another couple with a toddler we see maybe every 6 weeks. We don't really talk to them between those visits, but have a good time when we're together.

There's a couple down the street with a toddler, and we've seen them a few times. We only moved to our place 8 months ago, so they're still a new friendship.

I moved a lot as a kid, so I didn't grow up with a single group of friends through HS or anything like that. It was tough keeping up with college friends after college because I made the mistake of becoming friends with my boyfriend's friends, and when we broke up, they all stayed friends with him and not me. Such is life! I was in a very small grad program with people who live all over the place, so I have scattered acquaintances from that time in my life. My co-workers are pretty much all either in their mid-20s and single, or are married with kids and are busy with their own lives.

So in short, I'm wondering if I really have a deficient of friends, or if this is normal for people who have had sort of transient lives and who balance working FT with having a little kid. [/quote]
