Who belongs to a MoM club?

I am trying to decide if I want to join.... I could use the social aspect of it since I have had the babies there has been distance between me and many of my friends but just don't know how it will be... I guess I am weird about going to a new group where every one knows every one else....

I was worried about that too but am so glad I joined. ?I go to chats with moms of kids in our age group, and they have play dates, social functions, outings etc. ?They even brought us meals when the babies were born!

My club has been a wonderful source of info and support through some big issues for me.  I love the ladies I've met there and the connections we've made so far, and I haven't even been able to take the babies to any of the events yet.  Once I can I'm really looking forward to things taking off with a bang.

I belong to one. I have mixed feelings about it. I like being in a room with other MoM's who get it. But our group is over 300 members and over 60+ are at each meeting. So it's not like you get some great close knit friends. it is nice to know other MoM's in person though.

I went to my first gathering 2 weeks ago.  It was alot of fun.  The do monthly dinners out as well as family friendly events throughout the year.  I was not nervous about going..I figured, why not take a chance.  If it is not for me then I will never go back..I along with 1 other mom am expecting out twins, and 1 just had hers 9-10 wks ago otherwise the kids ages range up to 7 yrs old.

I am in the same club as Kalki (lucky me!) and I have to agree with her comments 100%. I originally joined the club just for the semi annual twins sale -- to be able to attend on member night and sell at the sale is worth the annual membership fee alone (I made over $500 this last sale!).  But in the past year I have branched out and become a little more involved and have made a few friends through an "under 1" play group that meets once a month.  So I think it has been worthwile (and bonus, I got to meet Kalki in person!).

Mine is pretty disorganized, but I'm still glad I joined because I've met a few really cool people. Its also nice to be able to go to their sales as well. I don't really care for th big meetings.. they are kind of boring but there are enough good things about it to make it worthwhile:)

I've been a member since pg but just became more involved too.  You make of it what you want and I need more avenues for playdates.

Playdates w/ my singleton friends are great but there's nothing like the comforting chaos of other MoMs and their twins+.

I'm a member of my local club.  I was really hopeful about the social aspect and making more friends who had kids.  But that hasn't really worked out for me, I haven't really connected with anyone in particular in the local club.  That being said, I love the consignment sales and think the club is worth it for those alone.  Also, my girls have really enjoyed a couple of the family events.  For example, the club throws a Halloween party, and they had a kids music singer there, and Sarah just had the time of her life dancing to the music with the other little kids.    There is also a message board for my local club that tends to have good info on local kid stuff.  So all and all it has definetly been worth it for me.

i belong to a triplets group, and i am so glad i do. i was lucky to be joining at the same time as two other moms (our kids were born almost all on the same day) but everyone else had been in the group for a long time and knew each other well.  but i've been in it for a year now, and it's really great to know other moms who have gone through what i'm going through.
