Before being a mother, life has nothing to do with when motherhood knocks on your door. Actually a woman when she becomes a mother knows that her life is going to change completely, although of course, that new mother is still the same woman as always. She is the same woman only her priorities have changed.
Friendships change
Perhaps friendships will also change because you will no longer have the same time to do the things you did before a little being dominated your life. You will no longer go out to the same places, because you will always think of your children and their well-being before thinking of any plan. If you have friends who are not mothers, only the authentic ones will stay with you.
It is inevitable that some of these friendships will drift out of your life, because now your time is focused on your children. Although true friendships will know that when time passes, you will be the same person as always, only that when that time passes, only friends who really love you will remain by your side, both you and your baby.
The time is gold
Do not worry if this happens, in fact, this will help you realize who are the people who deserve to be in your life and in that of your children. You will learn to prioritize people and also sYou understand that your time is money and that not everyone deserves to be given it.
Those people who give you their time (that precious treasure that never returns) will value it enormously and you will realize that your time is also so precious that not everyone deserves it. Once you understand this, you can enjoy much more of the meetings with your friends and also, of motherhood.
Enjoy your children, yourself and your friends
Your children need you more than anything in this world and for that reason, they will be your priority at every moment. Whoever does not accept your children in your free time will not deserve your time or your attention. On the other hand, those who respect that you are a mother, that you can meet your friends for a coffee from time to time in a place where your children can run and have fun., those friendships will be the ones worth keeping in your life.
Although if you realize that your friendships have changed a lot since you became a mother, don't worry. Those people are doing you a favor, don't feel sad if they leave your life, feel grateful because they taught you how they really are. Focus on finding people who really appreciate you and know how to enjoy your time with you and with your children.
Where you least expect it, you can find those mothers who also want to be your friends. They can be found among the mothers of your children's schoolmates, in a support group that you have found on social networks or in a neighbor to the You never paid attention before
