The Friend Without Kids: Navigating friendships, baby showers, and the motherhood shift when everyone else is having children

By Helen Rose

Ever sat in a group chat that used to be chaos and memes, and now it's all prams, nappies, and ovulation charts? Or found yourself clapping at baby showers while secretly wondering why nobody throws balloons for your promotion?

This is the book for you.

The Friend Without Kids is a funny, honest, and painfully relatable read about what happens when your friendship group turns baby blue - and you don't. From awkward plus-ones at weddings to conversations that dry up over nappy chat, Helen Rose captures the messy middle of modern friendships when motherhood barges in and shifts the balance.

Inside, you'll find:

The invisible club nobody tells you about (and what it feels like to be left outside).

Baby showers, gift lists, sprinkles - and why you deserve confetti too.

The jealousy thing (and the secret relief when you go home to silence).

Why your milestones matter - even if nobody throws you a party.

This isn't a self-help manual. It's not polished advice. It's a laugh, a cry, and a big exhale for every woman who's ever felt left behind, left out, or quietly wondering if she's the only one.

If you're looking for a relatable motherhood-adjacent memoir, a funny parenting book for non-parents, or just proof you're not imagining the shift - The Friend Without Kids will make you feel seen.

Because you're not failing. You're not falling behind. You're just living your life - and that's enough.
