When you first add a baby to your life, sometimes you end up minus some friends who don't understand your new priorities and schedule.

So it is, especially for those young moms whose single friends are still in party mode.

That's certainly been the story for a mom who goes by the screen name tina86. But on Hawaii MomsLike Me.com, she recently found fellow moms not just to listen to and sympathize with her tale, but also to make friends and socialize with.

In less than 10 hours, 11 other moms had written back to tina86.

"I know exactly what you're talking about; I'm going through that right now!" wrote a mom whose screen name is ChubbyCheeks. "Some of them don't seem to quite understand that ... when plans get canceled at the last moment and they think we can just reschedule ... it doesn't work that way for moms!"

Wrote another mom who goes by HinaBina: "Don't be down on yourself because your friends are going the opposite direction from you. You made the adult decision to have a baby, and that changes a person naturally."

And another mom with the screen name Texican reminded tina86 that her old friends "probably were for a specific time in your life, and now you're in a new season of life and might benefit more by being friends with other moms" — and then invited her to attend the "meet-ups" the Hawaii MomsLikeMe.com members plan frequently, including a March 14 picnic and toy and book swap at a park in Waiau.
