After having her son, Nell Frizzell found herself from feeling cut off from those close to her.
It’s a common problem, so why does no one warn expectant parents about it, she asks.
According to a study of 2,000 parents, carried out by the charity Action for Children a few years ago, 68% of parents felt ‘cut off’ from friends, colleagues and family after the birth of a child. Why? I could write the reasons along my arms in felt tip, across my walls in jam and down my sheets in blood.
We are told that good friends are your friends for life. That they’ll always be there. That you can share everything. That having a baby won’t change you Thanks to the individualistic way we arrange housing in this country, you will spend the morning at home, blink, and realise that it’s gone dark. Just as someone gets to the punchline of their anecdote, your baby will make a noise like a saw cutting through aluminium and you will miss it. You will forget the name of the company your friend works for. You will cancel on them because you have to suddenly go to a health visitor appointment.
