Kristy,
Go to meetup.com & you'll find group in your area. I joined about a month ago & found a great group. We have playdates, day trip, moms night out & more. Hope this was helpful :) |

| Before I had children I had no problem making friends, and when I had my oldest my friends weren't even thinking of having kids. I felt alone and left behind. I have a hard time making friends since having kids. I guess I have so much on my plate that I am more self-conscious about myself. I have a few "mommy" friends, and then one of my friends told me to go online and google parents groups and other things that relates to that topic. I did and here I am. I also have a myspace and belong to www.cafemom.com Good luck! |

| I had my daughter this past winter, and it was a horrible one! I felt trapped in the house, with no one coming in or out. Now that the weather is better here, that is changing. I am glad I found this website - someone told me to google moms gorups too. It isn't the same as direct contact, but it is nice to have an outlet! |

Hi Kristy,
I feel exactly the same way. I'm not a particularly outgoing kind of person to begin with, and then we moved across country right before my daughter was born, so didn't know anyone, and then it was winter, so nothing much going on, and feeling really isolated. I'm slowly getting to know some moms at my church, and I've met a few moms at the YMCA for my daughter's swimming lessons. I've come to the conclusions tho, that it takes a long time for me to get to know people, and it's especially hard when I don't find people with much in common with me. So I don't have a lot of advice for you, except that maybe signing up for a class like swimming or something that meets regularly might help you meet some moms. I don't know. I"m still struggling with this, but know you're not alone. Take care, and good luck! |

| I was in need of adult interaction too...then I started taking my daughter to classes at Gymboree. I don't know if there's one near you, but if there is...it is worth every penny! The kids get to play together and there's Mommy time too for everyone to share advice. Dad's are even there on Saturday classes. Good luck! |

| Don't feel bad because they do not think before they talk. They just open there mouth and what ever come out they say it with out thinking. If you ask him to tell you what they what's from you they could not tell you. So don't let it worry you some time they are looking at some one that don't have much as you do, but he wouldn't know that just by looking at other we see what they want us to see. We all make people see thing that not real. So put a smile on you face a have a bleesed day. You need to know that we have to be happy with how we are and know that God love us.A Mom With A Mission we love helping other feel better about who they are. |
