My mom date/play date went well! They even live close, which is awesome. We're definitely going to do it again!
And DS was invited to a different boy's b day party, so I will get to meet more moms there, too. Even if we don't all hit it off I will at least learn their names instead of just So-and-so's mom.
I feel like there are several people I would totally hang out with here, as long as peeps are cool with boobs being exposed! Coffee (check!) TV (check!) Sweats (check!) Talking about baby (check!) Fantasy football (check...as long as you dont judge my team too harshly! ((it's mediocre at best)) Dogs (check!) Baking (check!) Eating (check!) Crotcheting (check!) Other crafts (check!)
I had mom/play date #2, and we're having a couple boys & their moms over for DS's 3rd bday. We were just over to one boy's bday and his mom seems nice. It just takes a long time to get past the initial crap to determine if there is real friend potential or not. Although, I don't need a real friend even. I'd be happy with a nice mom to chit chat with while the toddlers play.
I still got nothing. I saw another mom with her baby in her carseat at the grocery the other day. We had the same car seat (different colors tho) and kept ending up in the same aisles. I thought it was providence and decided to ask her to hang out, then remembered the other girl I know with a baby near LOs age. That girl is full of drama and just really, really annoying. Suddenly I realized THIS girl could be the same way. So I paid for my groceries and left.

This will be easier soon when LO is a little more mobile. You can ask under the guise of letting the kids " play" together. And remember if the drama is too much or it's not working you can just decline future get togethers. There are so many excuses with a baby. Nap time, feeding issues, overstimulation concerns, diarrhea. . .
No luck for me...but LO is still on his monitor so we don't get out much. I met a mom in the waiting room at CHOP, but I am not one to bust out with "hey, will you be my friend?" Because I feel that it should be a natural thing. In retrospect I think she may have been looking for a friend, because she was all done and had her kids ready to go and sat down and started talking to me...we had a nice long chat, and then she just got up and left when we were called for LO's appointment...oh well - maybe next time I will do a better job
First time mom to adorable but extremely high maintenance daughter seeks friends to commiserate with. Former runner and lover of yoga, pilates, international travel, and good tv; currently spends a majority of the day in a gliding recliner in a darkened nursery listening to white noise. Avid reader (bangs through 3-4 books weekly on Kindle while trapped in nursery) and online shopper. Huge fan of Disney vacations (come to me for advice if you need it!), fried foods, and chocolate; currently mourning the loss of the ability to eat dairy on account of LOs sensitivity.
I think you might be my soul mate. Definitely spent my 21st bday at Disney and every getaway with hubby is spent at a Disney hotel. My Nook is with me more often than my cell phone, and anything fried/chocolate covered/cheese related is never far from mind. Although I can't eat 2 of those things anymore without getting horrible, debilitating gas pains
Yea no luck here either. I've got one mom friend I love but who lives in NC while her husband is deployed, and another who parties way too much for my taste. Meh.
My listing: Introverted, FT/SAHM with smiley 10 week old seeks mom with similar ideals and interests. Namely Netflix obsession that's heavy on the Office/Parks & Rec end, Starbucks obsession that often ends in making coffee at home to save $$, and hanging out at home in workout clothes with zero intention of working out. Double points for never asking me to make plans during hours that take me away from my beautiful husband and for not trying to guilt-trip me into going to crowded places to get drunk. Triple points if you have an unconditional love of all things Disney. I will totally plan a family day trip to Magic Kingdom with you but lunch dates are preferred
