All my friends have 1 maybe 2 if any. I have 1 friend pregnant with her 4th but she is 27. I feel so old. I love all my kids but feel like I dont fit in with people my age. I guess maybe my pregnancy hormones are just getting to me. I just feel so different.

  Re: Young with multiply children? Reply Contact I will be 25 tomorrow and am currently pregnant with my 3rd child. Most of my friends are still single or they have 1 kid. It's hard, but I know how you feel. I talk to my single friends and remember how much fun we used to have, eventhough we live in different states, and I just feel so "out."   In fact, my husband is 32 and most of his friends are older than me, but I fit in with them just fine! lol

  Re: Young with multiply children? Reply Contact Hello I'm 24 going on 3 kids. My son is 4 1/2 my daughter is 2 1/2 and I'm due in early December. All of my friends have 1 kid or none at all. I always feel left out!!! Plus I'm like the only one married outta any of them. SO I never really have any1 I can relate 2. My sister is 22 with 4 kids!!!! But she isn't married and doesn't have any long term relationships, so evn though she has lots of kids, its like we still don't really relate. I love all my babies and hope to have a couple more, maybe... but there are lots of different types of families out there. So remember u r not alone, evn though I know it sure can feel like it sometimes

  Re: Young with multiply children? Reply Contact  I just turned 26 in April, had my fourth baby in December. I had my first the summer between sophomore and junior year in high school, second the January after graduating, and third at 21. I recently looked at some profiles of people I knew in high school and one was married and had two kids, but the rest were partying it up. I'm not jealous of the partying because I've never been that type, but it would be nice to feel included if I were surrounded by a group of them. My neighbors are 32, 38, and nearly 30 and they are much more on my level. I get along best with the 32 and 38 year old actually. I feel incredibly old sometimes.

  Re: Young with multiply children? Reply Contact I just feel so alienated sometimes. I stay home with my children because its hard to pay for child care for that many. Mine are 5 in Nov, 3, 2 in July and another due in Sept. My oldest was suppose to start preschool in the fall but didnt get in. She was suppose to go to school where me and my husband both went. I was kinda hoping to get back in touch with ppl my age that we went to school with that do have children her age. It so much harder to find a sitter just for a couple hours with that many. I love them all to death but I feel like I live, breath, and eat children sometimes. My husband jokes all the time about my reading books that are crazy. I said I need something to take my mind off kids for a little while a day. He just doesnt understand. He is at work 12hrs a day with grown men. I talk to my cousin with 3 babies all the time but she is 700 miles away. Its not like we can take all the kids and go out for a day. I live in a small town and there isnt really anything for moms and children. I cant even really find older ppl to relate to. My neighbors are a 70something old couple and a man in his 50's. I really need to move to a big city. Sorry if I sound winny thing its my hormones. I just feel like crying for no reason sometimes and Im almost 7months. Dont remember this with my other 3.
