[QUOTE="ML, post: 370771"] I tend to have compartmentalized friendships. Those that I can discuss "things at home" with and those with whom I don't. They just don't get it because they haven't experienced it. And that's ok because we talk about other things and it brings me out of my little world. I have friends at work, one of whom I walk with daily. I have friends from my local mom's groups and we will get together for lunch on occasion. But I will admit it is hard maintaining quality friendships. I tend to be flakey because of the demands of my life and I am working hard at keeping committments no matter what. I agree with others that it is important to keep reaching out. I know you get exhausted but try to keep some balance in your life. It can't be ALL about the kids ALL of the time. It's true, you do lose yourself and that's not good for them either. The oxygen mask goes on you first, remember? Hugs of understanding. [/QUOTE]
