[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you need both old friends and new friends. The former can’t expect you to maintain the same lifestyle now that you have kids, but in the long run, it’s worth keeping in touch with those who will still be there for you. Right now, it’s probably hard to know who that will be, but it will shake out with time. My kids are 10, 8, and 6, so I’m not a new mom. IME, I’ve made some true women friends through my kids, i.e., “mom friends.” There are some women I’m friendly with for the sake of my kids, and others who are kindred spirits. You don’t need a ton of them, but you do need some. I can’t imagine if I didn’t have women friends I could talk to about stuff going on with my kids, and who got it. I still cherish my “old” friends who ended up not having kids, as I do the “new” ones who do have kids. Like I said, you need both. :) [/quote]
