Mom Friends

This is my first baby, and I'm a SAHM.  None of my friends are SAHMs, and only one of my friends has kids.  How do you get out and meet other moms and make friends?  I totally could have used someone to talk to for the last three hours while DD was inconsolable.

    There was a Mommy & Me group that I attended for many months with my son when he was little and that helped, being a FTM and all. 

    I also go to Bible Study on Thursdays at our church, as that particular group is all mothers in some capacity (new, older, seasoned, one kid, several kids...it's great!) and that's helped.

    On Facebook (if you use it) there are generally Mommy Meet Up groups in your city/town/area that you can also check up on. I've met lots of ladies this way...none that I'd necessarily say were "friends" but at least acquainted with.

    Do you have Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) in your area?  We meet through our church, and there are several other churches in our town that have MOPS.

    I am struggling with this, too, because all of my close friends are single.  While they are totally nice about DD, I'm not exactly ready to bring her to a raging street fest to watch them pick up dudes.  Also, when she does stupid stuff like sh*tting ALL OVER HER CAR SEAT I would like someone to complain to who would get it. Quit acting like such a baby, DD!!!  

    I am going to try Stroller Striders (a mom/baby work out group).  If you go to their website, you can put in your zip code to see if there is one in your area.  I loathe exercising but at least I will be able to meet new moms and try to lose this weight.

    Let me know if you come up with any other good ideas.

    I know what you mean because I was in the same situation - I just looked for mommy and me groups since we just moved and I didn't have any mom friends who lived near me anyway (our non parent friends just didn't understand - they kept inviting us to things that we couldn't do, like shows or the water park, and it just made my baby blues worse and I felt more trapped). Sometimes hospitals run new parent support groups too, but the one I found meets at a local consignment store. Another place might be a LLL group.

    It's tough being a new mom without any mom friends, and I hope that you find something soon :)

    I'm going to start going to MOPS in the fall when they have meetings (they don't meet from May - Sept) which works out well b/c LO will be older by then.  I don't really have friends in the area b/c I just moved here a little while ago so I'm hoping this will help meet other women in the area.
