Keeping Friends After Baby: Avoiding the TMI Temptation
After you have a baby, especially a first child, life becomes busy in ways most never dream of. There isn’t much time to do much else than taking care of your newborn and their needs. Especially during those first few months, it is almost impossible to keep in touch with friends.
However, even after life settles back down into a more comfortable routine keeping in touch with friends still may be placed on the back burner. There are a million and one excuses, and it does happens but picking up that telephone and calling can have some great benefits for you.
Even though you may other things that seems to take over the forefront in your mind, making some time to catch up and get together with good friends can really make a lot of difference in how you feel. While even if your own parenthood status among your friends is more unique, and have more childless friends, call them and just catch up.
Be assured that while your friends love you and your child, and may ask some questions about your child try not to overload them with all the little details. While it is tempting, and we have all been there more than likely your friends are more interested in hearing other news about you. Especially if it has been a while since you last talked. Sure, that potty training is really exciting, but generally speaking you friends more than likely don’t need (or want) all the details.
That’s not to say you should put a complete ban on talking about your child (or children), but keep it minimal. While it may be assuring that your friends will more than likely one day have kids of their own, and eventually understand the want to talk about them, now try to keep the baby talk minimal.
