| Hello... I never thought I'd join a group about only children... but you never know what life will bring you. My hardest struggle is finding someone for her to play with- other than me and her dad. all the other kids at preschool aren't only children, so all the mom's have their social groups/cliques. When we've tried things at the library... people and the kids are very .... I don't want to say unfriendly, but more non friendly. My daughter is very friendly...always says Hi to other kids. She's always happy. I don't get it. I'm pretty shy.... so it hurts to see her trying to make friends and nothing happening. oh well... any suggestions? |

Welcome Julie
i have one son who is 3 and we are trying for #2. So i understand how hard it is when your child only has their parents to play with. Luckily i found a great playgroup through here and also through cafemom.com another great site. My son starts preschool in Sept. so Im hoping that will bring in more friends for him too.

I know it's so hard! I had some very lonely periods there for a while.
Do you have a MOMS club or MOPS in your town? If not, why not start one? Do you attend church? She could play at the Sunday school with other kids. Just get your house semi-decent and invite other kids over to play. Put up an ad to start a playgroup at your grocery store bulletin board. |

Meetup.com is also a wonderful site to find local playgroups.
I know what you mean about moms having their own little clique's and sometimes it can be so hard to break into one. |

| I feel your pain. I was SO LONELY with my son for a long, long time! You just have to try. Let her interact with kids. Act relaxed, not desperate. Strike up conversations with the moms of the kids she is playing with at public places like the library, mall, playground, etc. Join a MOMS group or MOPS at your local church. You have to FORCE yourself to get out there every day and make friends for her, not for yourself. Don't be shy. Most other moms are just like you. Looking for friends for their kids. |
