First of many questions! :)
Hi everyone,

I am a SAHM of a 22 month old and we have another due on Thanksgiving. I have found that since I became a SAHM that I have VERY few other adults to talk to. I do not know anyone in my area who stays home and all of my friends are babyfree. I love my kids, but some adult interaction would be very nice. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks a million!

try the library and your local parks. it is easy to stat coversations with other moms.

you should also go msn.grops. and see if they have any playgroups in the area you live in.

Hi there. I just started going to the library with my 7 month old, the moms are GREAT! Not having adult conversations has been a difficult transition to sahm. I also just found a group on meetup.com, so far so good. You might also try the local park district for any mommy and kid activities. Good luck

also if you go to the rec center that can be great too, sometimes you can find things posted there, as the lib. does check for fliers and such.

also if you are in a smaller town check the daily paper i have found a few things in the paper actually to do..

good luck.

I agree with the Meetup.com there are a lot of great groups on there.

do u have family close? if so maybe u can ask them for help then u can hang out with your friends for a couple of hours or u can go to the library and maybe meet some moms there

Also Gymboree or other similar classes, the park, sibling classes to prepare your older one for the baby, prenatal exercise classes, and check to see if there is a chapter of the MOMS Club International (google that name) or other mom's club in your area. Check craig's list for your area to see if any are advertised there. Basically, DON'T STAY AT HOME all day. There are lots of things you can do that cost little or no money and get you around other moms. Designate one or two days a week when you get out for fun and don't be shy -- if you see someone, approach them. They probably have the same problem as you.
