Under 30 moms

lj smith · June 2010

So I am 23 and DH is almost 25. We are the first in our group of friends to have a baby. We were also the first to get married. Now we kind of feel like we don't really mesh with most of our old friends since a lot of them are still in college and like to stay out all night. How do you ladies find fellow mamas to hang out with? I did register for MOPS at church but it starts in September.

I am not under 30, but didn't have any friends in the area who had kids when DD was born. I was lucky to meet some great women through my Bradley class, and we started hanging out together after our babies were born. I also went to La Leche League meetings. If I hadn't had those moms, I probably would have tried to find a stroller strides class, etc. Now since we've moved, I've had to start all over. I actually go up to people i see on the street with babies around DD's age, since there aren't really a lot of organized activities here.

I am 21, most of my friends actually had children a few years ago I think the youngest of them is a 1. But I moved a way from my friends, so I was pretty much wondering the same thing. This town I live in is so small and only a couple of the girls have babies. And the 2 that do have babies are my sisters friends, but we don't seem to see eye to eye on things due to extreme religious differences.

But the town that I live in is hosting a Little Mr and Miss pageant on the 4th of July and one of the ladies at the store said it would be a good way to meet other momma's around town. I seen this site I don't remember what it was called though, but I was googling (horrid addiction) and came across some kind of site where you could meet local moms and set up play dates. But I don't really know how safe that would be with all the weirdos of the world today. The church thing is a good idea though, I think I should talk to the father of our church and see if we can't get something like that started here.

Oh and doesn't this site have like a local moms board? Maybe you could try the one for your area and strike up a conversation with couple of the ladies and see if you would feel comfortable setting up a play date.

Hmm sorry I probably wasn't much help.

If you go to meetup.com - you can find mom's groups in your area! I joined one and have had good luck with it

I've been looking too. Although there don't seem to be groups on a lot of those sites in my area. I'm going to keep trying though. Sorry, I know that was no help.

I actually found a wonderful group of women from these boards. We all "met" on PgAL when it was SAL and we had a few GTG's when we were pregnant. Now that we have our LO's we try to meet up every other week for a playgroup. I SOOOO look forward to those!

Maybe put together a GTG with ladies on here and PgAL. When LO

gets older you could sign up for a Little Gym or Gymboree class. That's always a great way to meet other moms too!

This.

I'm in the same situation where none of my friends have kids. I joined a moms group on meet up and have met lots of nice moms.

I have a lot of girlfriends with babies who were born the same time as kate but we never seem to be able to get the kids together. I'm going to look into MOPS for the fall...Kate loves to play with other kids.
