I don't have really any friends. I have one friend that I hang out once every 3 months. Which is really hard because she recently moved to a different city. She's not a mom and wants to be one. I keep on telling her that she doesn't want to be a young and single mom like me.
I go to these baby classes, but the hardest thing is, is that they are all married, much older than I am and all have at least 2 kids.
I do have other friends that are my age that are moms and all, but like they are with their baby's dad, always working and like hanging out with other ppl. You know what really really bugs me about it all, I'm ALWAYS asking them if they wanna hang out. They always say no sorry I have plans already. And it's going to the zoo or the mall with my other friends with kids and when I see them at these places, they always run the other way.
I don't know what it is? I feel 100% bad that my daughter doesn't have play dates with kids her own age and that I don't have someone that I can talk to that's going through the same thing as I am. Is it because I have a part time job that I get to only work on weekends? Is it because I still live at home with my folks and not in my own place? Is it because I'm not skinny? Not popular? What is it????? I'm always at home bored and a lone and I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I'm saying a lot........

Anyways, I'm 20 and I live in Minnesota and if anyone is from MN that would be so cool! Even if your not, I could really care less. I'm just tired of not having a friend.

I live in MN and know how you feel. I dont think its because of those reasons you mentioned. Even still today its looked down upon when the mother and father are no longer together especially when we're young. My best friend does not have children and I love her and everything she just doesnt understand that one, my daughter is the upmost important thing and two, what Im going thru. I would love to chat with you if you want to send me a private message or an email @ rebeccastaoro@yahoo.com. I am 23 with a 3 year old.
