How Can Friends Stay Friends Even When One Of Them Becomes A Mommy?

Moms share their kids' talk all the time and still have more to share the next moment. The baby talks may not be fascinating to those who are not mothers. Women tend to lose old friendships after becoming mothers.

Standard Media puts light on the reasons and solutions to the problems as mentioned above. They say that since mutual interests and choices are the basis of friendship, women are more likely to lose touch with their friends when they become mothers. A study in the US shows that 72 percent of the mothers were cut off with their friends who do not have children.

It is better to understand that a person with no child cannot empathize with a mother, therefore, talking about children to them may seem annoying to them. To avoid such a hard thing, some steps should be taken.

Friends should be talked out; they should be discussed with. It is necessary to talk to friends about the coming baby and tell them that the baby won't affect the friendship in any way. To keep the friendship bond stronger, efforts should be made. Trying to stay connected even on a busy schedule is the actual essence of friendship.

Even though a childless friend doesn't like to know how to potty train a child, but maybe they love kids and would like to go out on a family picnic or a birthday party. Take out time for them, even if a little. Go out with them, let them know they are special.

Parents Canada also shared some advice on how friendships could stay baby-less. It says that becoming a mother doesn't mean pushing others to get pregnant as well. Let them decide on their own. It also suggests that social sites should not become a photograph book of a child, it must have other things and as little as it could have pictures of babies.
