This.  I have a couple of really good friends, which I find to be a little unusual at this time in my life. At least for an introvert like me. I'm very grateful. But they weren't mom friends.

The one mom friend who I have tried to keep in contact with doesn't want to do anything other than talk about her kids.  And it gets boring, honestly.  She doesn't want to go "do" things. Just sit, drink wine, and talk about her kids.  But I feel like my life is now opened back up to stuff "I" want to do, not what I was "required" to do as a mom.  Hiking, biking, kayaking, travelling, photography, refinishing furniture, and more. I don't expect everyone to share my hobbies, but it's fun hanging out with people who can discuss different stuff they do, and a real plus if they want to go boating on the bay one day soon, join a bootcamp class together, and so on.
