Childhood friends- how many years have you been friends?

LIAngel · March 2011

My friend Robyn and I have been friends since kindergarten. We grew up together and went to the same school. We were just talking and it got me thinking "I wonder if my kids will have a friend like that". Like if Nicholas makes friends with Billy Smith in Kindergarten, will they still be friends and be in each others' weddings?

Robyn and I have been friends for over 30 years. Little did we know when we met in Kindergarten in 1976, that we'd still be friends AND that we would have children with the same b-days (Her oldest and Nicholas share a B-day and her 2nd child and my 2nd child will also share a b-day).

Fun topic!

I have had the same BFF for 18 (nearly 19) years. Her oldest daughter is my Godchild and my son is hers. She lived with my family for a few years when we were in High School. We consider her family in every way that counts.

I don't know what I would do without her. You've gotta have girlfriends :-)

My best friend and I have been friends since kindergarten as well, so we've been friends for 25 years. She has a son but, he 12:) I hope our 2nd children will be close in age. I also have another good friend who I still keep in contact with (she lives in PA now) who I have known since we were 4.

I would say most of my brothers friends are people he has been friends with since elementary and middle school.

I have two good friends from my 9th grade... so what, 1987??? (HS '91 grad) Both are VERY different life paths than me (one married longer, but not a mom... the other just got her 1st BF) I adore them. And know we'll always be friends, but it's been hard "loosing" them the past few years. Our lives are just so different.

I have a friend from kindergarten... we used to be a lot closer and we don't see each other too often, but we consider each other close friends. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and is part of all the special events in my life. However, I definitely think we had way more in common in kindergarten than we do now!!

I have another friend that I've known since elementary school and we used to be extremely close. We grew apart for a few years in college but we recently rediscovered our friendship and it's been awesome. We don't talk all that often, but when we do it's for hours and it's like no time has passed at all.

My very best friend is from high school... she's the one I can talk about absolutely anything with. We've known each other for about 17 years now (wow, crazy!!) and were like sisters from day one.

Unfortunately none of my close friends live nearby My BFF is having her 1st baby this summer and we're so sad that our kids won't grow up having playdates. We will have some awesome family vacations though!!

I have known my oldest childhood friend since PRESCHOOL It has been 30 years since we have been friends We are both PG with #3 right now. Our oldest boys are 9 months apart. Our second children are 4 days apart and these last ones will be 3 weeks apart. We don't live in the same city anymore, but we talk every day.

Then we also have another "best" friend that we met in Kindergarten........so 28 years of friendship with her! She is PG with her 2nd......so our kids are all very close in age.

I love my friends! I don't know what I would do without them. They know everything about me and can read my mind!

I also have a group of very close girlfriends from college (sorority sisters....), so I have known all of them for 15 years now!

One friend I have known since I was 5 (so 30 years) the other I've known for 16. The first one just had a little boy so it will be lots of fun to have our boys play together.

I've been friends with my childhood best friend since I was 4 so we've been friends for almost 25 years. We had a time in high school when we werent friends but became friends again during college and she was my MOH in my wedding. Sometimes it's tough to keep in touch, we live very different lives - she is single (dating someone now) and lives in center city and goes out all the time, I am a mom and live in the suburbs with a mortgage - but somehow when we get together it's just easy.

My closest friend grew up down the street from me. We've been friends for 25 years. We currently live less than a mile from each other. I'm Godmother to her dd and she will be for J. We talk or text several times during the week and get together without kids once a month.

My oldest friend is from 4th grade, but we're not THAT close, and never see each other (she lives clear across the country from me). However, we definitely have a special bond that will never change.

My oldest CLOSE friends are from college, which for me was 21 years ago.

I have a male friend, Bob, and we have been friends for 34 years now. He is honestly my best friend to the point that I call him my other husband. He was my "man of honor" at my wedding. I love that we have been friends virtually our entire lives as that is something really special to share such a long history with someone. I hope each of my children find someone like that.

I have a few friends that I've known for a long time that I still hang out with. One is from 5th grade, and a couple from 9th. So I've known 15-20 years. Who knew that would happen!?!
