[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate to what you're feeling and let me say that there are some mean ass people on this site who are very judgmental and quick to call people self-centered, immature, the works.  So try not to let those people bother you.  I'm trying not to!  They seem unhappy and bored and can't help being negative.

I think what you're going through is totally normal.  Even with old friends, the dynamics can change as we grow older and go through different experiences. Especially if you're financially secure and a SAHM.  How can they relate and not be bothered if they're struggling and working to make ends meet when you don't have either of those problems?  It's not that you're not without sympathy and there's nothing wrong wanting to have friends who are on the same boat as you.  You, too, should be okay to talk about what's going on in your life without feeling guilty.  I feel the same.  I'm a SAHM and don't have any financial worries, but that doesn't mean I don't have other worries.  Everyone has problems.  As much as I appreciate my old friends and like seeing them time to time, I would love to find new friends who I find more in common with, but that's not easy to come by.  I think it takes effort and perhaps you can volunteer more at school (I should, too) and maybe keep going to the same gym classes that you like and you will get to know some moms as you become more of a familiar face.  Staying home and being alone isn't going to help you so go out there.[/quote]
