Playdates: am I the only weirdo who gets nervous calling other moms?

I feel like I'm asking somebody out on a date! 
Wheee!

"When it comes to sleeping, whatever your baby does is normal. If one thing has damaged parents enjoyment of their babies, it's rigid expectations about how and when the baby should sleep." ~ James McKenna, Ph.D., Mother Baby Behavioral Sleep Center, University of Notre Dame

  • I do sometimes, like someone from his tot-time class that I don't know well.
  • I'm ok with email/texting/FB, but I'm not a fan of calling

  • I seriously can't. I'm very shy anyway but I cannot call someone. Basically we play with the kids and moms on our local nest board because I hate using the phone in general.  lol!

    Your'e not alone.

  • This is why I wish we all lived closer...I could totally call one of my SAIF ladies...other moms?  Notsomuch...

     

  • I emailed a mom the other day who I met at a local library event to see if she wanted to hang out again.  I seriously read and re-read the email a million times so that I didn't sound to desperate.  But I really liked her (even independent of the kids) and her twins are just a few days older than Jacob.  We got together at the library the other day!

  • Nope, I am soo new to all this playdate thing..but I totally feel like sometimes it's a first date. But so far I havn't really meet any parents who I don't like..:)
  • ummm, is it horrible that i still haven't done it :( 

    i know it's different, because i have twins, but i really do want them to socialize..and we have made a few friends in my gym class, and i know they are gonna be going to their first birthday party in march for one of their classmates..

    i feel terrible about this, but one day at free play i met a mom who had twin boys about ronnie and joey's age...they weren't there, she was there with her older daughter..and we talked a bunch, and she said we should set up a playdate, and i was all about it...so she gave me her #, and i never called :( i was too nervous..she seemed a little more well to do than us, and im anxious hanging out with new people anyway...but i felt like she was totally out of my league, haha

    honestly, if she gave me her email, i might have done it, or if i had thought enough to give her my info, i would have gladly set something up had she called me..but im so awkward in those situations, and then i probably made her feel bad in the process :(

  • I became FB friends with a mom I met at a kid's music class.  I FB emailed her and asked her (and a few others) to come over for a playdate.  She told me they couldn't but maybe another time.  THEN... I looked at her wall a week later and she had invited someone over for a playdate right on her wall for the world to see!  I totally felt excluded and kinda mad!  Now I don't want to ask her again because I think I was getting the cold shoulder and she didn't return the invite.  Ugh.  It's hard.

  • Yeah I get nervous too. Infact I've never called for a playdate.   The 3 times Nicholas had a playdate,was set up thru FaceBook.

  • I haven't done this yet except for my really good friends--if you could call it a playdate at this age ;) I would probably be nervous if I didn't know them well, though.
