IRL Mommy Group

in April 2012 Moms

I have been searching for an IRL Mommy group.  But I work.  All the Mommy groups in my area are for SAHM (daytime meetings) and the working mom ones are inactive (maybe that is a hint).

So I am thinking I may start one myself.  I may just be adding to the graveyard of meet-up groups for working moms.

What do ya'll think?  Silly or smart? 

Would any MD moms join?

    I think it's a good idea. There are several working moms groups in my area on Meetup.com. The Mom's Club group also has weekend events for working moms... did you check into that yet?

    I am assuming you are going through Meetup.com?

    It's definitely harder to do things in the evening. I know my evenings are filled with oatmeal cereal and nursing off and on for a while and then bedtime. However, maybe you can figure out some activities for the weekends?

    Also if you are into just getting together with other moms sans babies, one of our off shoots from my playgroup does uptown lunches. Like everyone meets up on the lunch hour or whatever.

    I did.  They have NOTHING on the weekends and the latest get togethers are at 3:30.

    geeky, I don't know how close you are to DC, but check out DC Urban Moms forum.  There are usually quite a few options there, and if not, the people who are on the forums are very helpful with ideas.

    I think it is a good idea. I found a mom group for working moms in my area and I think I might join eventually. However, I just started back at work and I am still trying to figure out how to juggle everything and stay sane. 

    Starting your own would be fun. If I was near you, I would rather join yours than the one I found elsewhere.

    I started a mommy group! Granted it meets during the day and I technically was at least  acquaintances With all the girls but still! We have had 3 meetings over the last 6 weeks. It's going pretty well, none of the other moms knew each other at all and nOt everyone can make it every week so i feel like its still "starting out" but so far, so good! I just make sure to keep it consistent and do it even if only a few can come, I also try to keep the conversation going so it doesn't get too awkward. The other moms are starting to get to know each other which I think is really cool! Anyway, I think you should totally do, just don't get discouraged if it takes a little while to get going! :)

    You should, I think it's a great idea and I can't imagine your the only working mom in your area looking for one!
