My best girlfriend from high school, we always planned to have babies together, but she split up with her long term boyfriend right about the time mine was proposing. Now a few years on and I have two bubs and doing the married life thing and I don’t see her anywhere near as much as I used to – she’s out at clubs and partying it up and I’m at home. What can I do to reconnect with my girlfriends?

I’m going to do the course by distance education so I don’t have to put my son in care. Has anyone else studied with a 3 year old running around their ankles? Any tips?

She’s 8 years older then him and treats him like her son. She gets pissy when he doesn’t call her at least once a week, she gets pissy when he forgot to call her for her birthday, she gets pissy when he can’t drop everything to spend the day with her. He doesn’t pander to it but it is still just so annoying that she treats him like that! I call her the other women cause she acts like a jealous ex. Grrrr it’s so frustrating! How do I get her to back off and just live her own life?!

They make such a mess and they’re so loud! I hate his buddies, they are such buffoons! Is there anything I can do in this situation?
