It's like lately I get harrassed mostly every day by my sister and some friends because I don't go out clubbing with them anymore. All of them have no children so of course it's hard for them to understand my point of view. My idea of a good social hour would be going out for appetizers, dinner, pool basically anywhere that I can bring my two daughters with me. This is not enough for them, so I keep blowing them off because my daughters do come FIRST! My sister keeps getting upset because as she says, "You don't hang out with me, just us girls" and of course my responce to that is, I won't go out without my daughters. I feel as though she should know better than to keep harrassing with the subject. Yesterday, we went out for ice cream and my daughters were there and my sister as well. After icecream we went for a walk and then headed on home.. It was great, and we didnt' have to go clubbing by ourselves and leave my kids behind. That was ideal for me and I truly enjoyed it. Why can't people understand that?? Does anyone know what I'm going through? Are you loosing people in your life because they just can't understand your babies are your priority? I mean, don't get me wrong, if they can't accept them, they aren't friends!!

Hi, I completely understand. Your sister and friends sound like they are being selfish and not considering your children. People won't understand until they have their own children and responsibilities, then they will change their mind. I have a disabled child and I take care of my niece due to some circumstances and my friends don't understand. They have complete freedom to do as they please and like I said until they have their own responsiblities they won't understand. Good luck.

I hear ya.. It's so nice to hear from someone that has gone through similar issues. I tell ya, I think I repeat myself over and over again because I do tell them as soon as they have kids they'll know what I mean. In the meantime, I will keep blowing them off, hahah. Oh well if they can't understand, our babies are our priorities.. Good luck to you also with your little one..
