[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tbh, I lost some friendships when I had my first. They were also childless and were clueless how much energy, time, and effort a baby/toddler takes. I simply didn't have energy to then pay attention to THEM that they were so craving. A new parents' life revolves around their kid and it's normal. Unfortunately childless adults in their mid-30s become a bit too much with their demands that THEY be the center of attention. What adult conversations? Complaining about your job, boyfriend, politics? As a new parent, one doesn't care about any of this. I've had heard it all already and had other priorities. Interestingly, as also evident in this post, paying attention to the baby/toddler is somehow too much. In reality, it's baby's/toddler's turn now. [/quote]

Perfect example of smug, boring parental outlook. [/quote]

Well, my priority is my children, OK? If yours is not, then sorry for your kids. The OP is craving attention, she says she feels invisible. Nobody cares about the invisibility of 30-something childless boring Karens. Maybe find something to occupy yourself with, instead of seeking attention from young parents? [/quote]

This is why women will never have true equality with men. Men don’t sacrifice themselves and their individuality on the pyre of parenthood. They still find ways to be people outside of being parents. Women are apparently eager to just be milkbags.[/quote]

People like you are dumb to come on here and make these types of arguments. You think women like PP care about feminism or even have jobs? She sounds like a homeschooling type. No point arguing with someone with the level of intellect who believes new/young moms can’t spare any time for anyone other than their children and spouse. My sister and I both have young children and find the time to have a close relationship and actually spend our time talking about our family of origin rather than our children. [/quote]
