I've joined so many mom websites in hopes of meeting new friends and finding playdates for my son. I've been so disappointed that when I search for activity and people who live in and near McHenry County IL that there is no activity. People join, make one post and never return....groups seem to be abandoned. Looks like other cities/towns have very active members. What is it with McHenry county IL???

Have gotten information on a few moms groups in other areas (official groups, with dues, meetings, etc) that are very active....(some too active!) but they all seem geared for kids ages 3 and up. I'm not finding much for toddlers. We do belong to Gymboree, and attend a library reading/play class...and that's fun...for 40 minutes once a week. I feel like a ghost sometimes....the other moms seem to stick to themselves or in their own little cliques. I feel like I simply cannot make a connection with someone...or make a new friend.

Is there anyone else out there who feels like me? Anyone else searching for a mom-friend...someone who understands, who listens, who likes to laugh...who  has an only-child and wants to get together with another mom/toddler so their child has some social interactions...and they can have an adult conversation and pass the day faster?

Help! Is there Life Out There????
