Hey everyone, thanks for your replies. I completely understand all off you, same things keep happening to me.. I find it hard however to go to mother groups/playgroups as my two eldest boys both have language and speech disabilities. Even the parents at the school my son attends never accepted us completely because of our ages. Even if you are far away(interstate) i would still love too keep in contact via facebook or email. I currently live in malaga, perth.

I am so lonely too :-( i'm only 21 and used to going out and having lots of fun. Since my little one has been born i have not heard anythin from my friends. I lvie in the middle of nowhere so i only see my son and my partner. I live 180 miles away from all my family too :-( Where does everyone live? Its a shame that we are not all near each other, we could have been each others friends :-) haha xx

Almost all of my friends have kids. The one friend that I have that doesnt have friends LOVES my kids to death, so she doesnt mind to be around all of us. I guess I was blessed to have a few great friends. Its good that you can reach out to people with the internet. Sometimes talking to people on here can help so much! Hang in there. Hope you find some great friends!

I was a single mum for a few years before marrying my now husband.
I feel more alone now than ever, I have to work to have my own money because his money is his money.
For me to work I have to have the kids in daycare, which is about 50% of my income, I'm not eligible for any government support because i'm not a single mum.
It is a really hard transition as my husband is never home, he has full control of the money he earns, he pays the rent (but I never know when it is paid? I have hardly any friends, the friends I did have before my first born disappearred real quick and every time i try to make new friends with other young mums etc there is always something I don't like about them!
Or something they don't like about me?

Agree! I feel like Im in between the Young people group and the Mums group, and dont realy fit into either. I get frustrated because i cant do the things I used to and feel like Im missing out but I love my little boy to bits. Im living on a farm and cant go into town too often so feel very lonely and get depressed. Any one else on eyre peninsula SA?
Where do you live Ashleigh?

I know what you mean!! I moved three hours away from my friends to country NSW, australia and my friends wont come to see me I always have to go see them. I don't know anyone in my area but have been thinking about going to a mothers group or play group to meet people. Maybe you could try that as a way to meet other young mums in your area. I'm also looking for young mums to hang out with and do lunch and coffee with lol

I know how you feel. I recently lost a lot of friends. Well now that I look back on it the two I lost were not really friends. The one always wanted me to do favors for her without a single one in return. And if she did do something for me she would hold it over my head and I would have to "repay" her.
