Did you drift apart from your non-married/mommy friends after you had a baby?
I can't help but feel like we no longer have much in common. It goes both ways. My friends call me less frequently and now rarely invite me out since I always say no and live in the suburbs. I take forever to call back and respond to emails because I'm so busy with the baby.

Not really. Ava just became our little side kick, and they all fell in love with her. If anything, we have a better social life after having a baby because it was so much more important for us to get out.
But we have friends that don't really go out a lot, we're more the hang out at someone's house kind of crew.

Somewhat, but mainly because we live in the suburbs, and I just can't get together with them after they are done with work as I used to do (they live in or around the city). Before DS was born, I worked in the city still, so we still got together a lot.

A little bit. Not because we have less in common but because it's harder to organize things.

At first yes. But now we all moved back to NY and just picked back up. They adore JAZ and want him around.
We are all meeting tonight at the live at five in town and he is coming. He loves the attention.

I think this is more my problem - that I now live in the suburbs. It would probably be different if I still lived in manhattan.

i could have written this post myself. I do make an effort to get together with them for dinner and stuff whevenever I can. But my friends travel alot and they dont invite me b/c I am a SAHM now and they know I dont have the money. Not even traveling - just stuff in general , comedy shows, concerts, they still do all those things and I can't b/c of money issues now that we have a baby.
However, like I said above, I always make sure to call and catch up or even try to do a cheap dinner one night

Re: Did you drift apart from your non-married/mommy friends after you had a baby?
some yes some no. one of my best friends from college I am still very close with, we talk through email almost every day still and get together whenever possible (she lives an hour away and we are both busy so its harder)
some ppl we used to go out to the bars with all the time we have drifted from because we dont go out as much anymore!
