feeling upset. it seemed that i no longer enjoyed & feel happy when i met up my bffs.. i'm not sure if im the one that is being too sensitive & petty.. or was it because we had grown up & have different views & thinking, no longer hit off as well as when we are younger. one of my bff gave birth on the same year as me, whereas the other is single. i got a bit offended previously when they told me I'm being protective over my LO which i don agree. now, they were asking if my LO is very clingy with me because I'm still breastfeeding. i do not have any good answers to reply them.. what does it mean by clingy.. arent babies supposed to be with clingy with their parents? feeling upset that it seemed impossible to have a proper conversation without me feeling hurt or turn off. Is it me & my hormones / character that makes me feel more emotional?

As people have more responsibility, their priorities and views changes. For you, your friends may have changed and for them, you may have changed. The only constant thing in life is change and the only way we can avoid conflict is to respect each other's decision and to accommodate other's opinions. It might be your hormones, or your just feeling tired, whatever it is, try to look on the bright side and bring up your kids the way you want them and how you feel comfortable. And you will meet more mommies along the way who will feel the same way as with you. I'm not saying that you have to ditch your old friends, if they ask you why you're still breastfeeding, answer them with conviction. I'm sure you have a pretty good reason why you breastfeed. As for me, because I'm saving up to buy a Prada bag. haha... Breastmilk does not cost a thing! Cheer up mama!! :-)
