  I can relate. LO won't take a bottle and still eats every 2 hours. I've never been away from her for longer than an hour. My friends still invite me to outtings, I usually have to turn them down and then see all the Facebook posts/pictures through out the night.
  
  Whenever I start to feel upset or left out I remember that my LO won't always need me like this and I'll miss it when she's older. Although going out and having fun is important, she is 100,000,000x more important. Friends and get togethers will always be there, my little one won't always be so little.
  
  Besides, I get to snuggle with my love bug and they don't.

  You're not alone, I often feel the exact same way. And then when I do get the opportunity to go out with the girls, I spend the whole time missing and thinking about my boys. 

  Sigh... I need more mom friends!

  I completely get it. We used to hang out with these two other couples.. But when I got pregnant, they slowly stopped inviting us to do things (bc I said no for a while bc I was miserable).. It's still tough seeing them have inside jokes and outings without us.. And of course I'd never change anything, I think I'm allowed to miss it a little ... Its almost like a mourning period IMO lol.. Every once in a while I reminisce :-)

  I totally understand the feeling. I feel this way sometimes too. But, then I look at my boys and I think, "it is all worth it. Every second." Even though I would Loooove a night out once in a blue moon.

  I totally get it. Sometimes I miss me time and being able to get up and go when I want. The trade off is; every holiday is better and little things like baking are way more awesome when you are teaching a LO how to do it along with you. I also always have a lunch date!

  Egh, I have come to the realization that yes I miss nights out but in the long run I don't want to miss my kids being small.
  When they are teens and want to be away then I will have my time.
  True friends understand and who knows I might meet a few along the way.

  Totally understand. Although, most nights I can't WAIT to go to bed bc I = old. One thing that's really helped DH and I is having friends over. We make or order dinner and play games and it's a little piece of our old life without being separated from LO.

  Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

  It is rough but it will get better.  I don't even hve an excuse for not going out and still find it hard.  DS takes a bottle but I have an unhealthy fear of my stash shrinking so I won't leave him if I don't absolutely have to.   Just make sure you take a little time for yourself.   You deserve it and need to make yourself a priority.
