[quote=Anonymous]Op, you are looking in the wrong place for the type of friend that you want.

I am 43 with 3 kids. DH and I are Ivy educated. DH has a successful career and surrounded by highly intelligent people. DH is not trying to talk about matters that are interesting to you at a 2 hour birthday party. I have two masters and juggled working with kids for a long time before deciding to stay home to focus on my children.

The mom friends I have made that have gone to a deeper level are getting personal and sharing personal, family and marital challenges. My dad is dying. I don’t want to discuss some book with a stranger right now. My best friend is newly divorced. I have a friend who is a nuclear engineer and we used to text about the Hills during the pandemic. I love hanging out with her because she is fun. Try being fun, OP. People will want to hang out with you more. It is harder to connect at this stage of our lives. If what we have in common is our children, it is natural to discuss our kids. I find my old friends with big careers often complain about work. I have some very successful friends and they are always worried about getting pushed out. [/quote]
