No friends aka parenting?


I feel like I have no friends due to being a parent and if makes me feel lonely.Long story short, I’m 26 and have a 9 year old son. I felt like when I was a single mom it was much easier for me to have friends and a life (considering I share him with his dad 50/50) so I guess it game me time on “off” days to hangout with friends of have a life.I moved to another area about 2 hours away to go back to college and I obviously knew I would lose friends over this. I didn’t mind. I knew I could see them every now and then.I met someone and got married. He has 2 kids from another marriage. So now I basically have 3 kids. This changed my life dramatically due to just have much more responsibilities and they all do sports so that takes up a lot of my time.I feel at this point I have not a single friend. I do blame this on the move since I didn’t get a chance to make any before I was married really. I’m just wondering if this is normal for other people? If I’m being honest I’m not really happy with this but I also don’t know what to do to change it.My husband says this is normal and it’s a part of “growing up” (he’s 11 years older then me) and also has no friends which I hate. I can’t tell if this is normal or how to change it considering I don’t have much free time but I would be willing to make time to make a change.Basically my question is how can I have a social life with also being a parent? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HzgMRQ
