I am struggling tbh since having Jess with fititng in with other parents and making 'mummy friends'.
I think the issue is that I dont fit in with very mainstream people as they find me a little odd/hippy/crunchy...but dont fit in with the odd/hippy/crunchy crowd as they find me too mainstream. I'm kind of stuck in the middle lol.
I try to be a natural and attached parent, but dont BF. I co-sleep by choice, but am trying to get Jess into a routine and in her own bed by the time she's 1. I believe in letting children be themselves, but also in boundaries and good discipline. I practice BLW, but she has baby porridge for breakfast. I babywear when its convenient for me, but use a buggy most of the time.
Anyone else in a smiliar stuck in the middle place? How have you made mummy friends and fit in at toddler groups etc? I have tried 3 local groups a number of times each and just felt like billy-no-mates stuck in the corner, I tried a Steiner group and it was way too crunchy for me. I cant win lol.
