Married with kids

Married with kids

My husband and I got married young, he was 23 and I was 19. Then 9 months later we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. I couldn’t be happier. However, I seem to have surpassed my age group. I no longer have anything in common with the friends I had before I got married. Maybe not because I got married but because I have other things on my mind now. Raising my daughter has become my number one priority. I attended some college and graduated a trade school, but for all my friends that are in that stage of their life now I feel that time of mine was a million years ago. And honestly I don’t believe I am even close to the same person that I was. I still like my friends that I had, we just have nothing to talk about. I talk about my daughter and my husband and they talk about college, drinking, boyfriends, girlfriends, going out. There’s not much of a common ground. I never really realized much of this until this week. My husband has a co-worker a few years older than him and he has a girl coming to visit him. She asked if I wanted to go shopping. I have never met this girl before and since she is a college basketball player I don’t know how much I’ll be able to find in common with her. Sure I played basketball in highschool. But somehow I feel I am “reliving the glory days” haha. How lame does that sound at 21 years old I am “reliving the glory days”. Yeah I can be nice, but at some point I think I run out of things to say or we run out of things to talk about. It’s hard to hang out with people that now seem to have a different lifestyle than you. This is my challenge to myself this week, befriending someone that I have a hard time relating to now.
