Playgroups

If you have your LO in a playgroup how was it established? Were you friends before? I would like to get involved with a playgroup for DS but I don't have any friends with children around his age. Any advice is appreciated!

    I used meetup.com.  The people were complete strangers, but we have met some very nice people.  I only go to the ones in public places if I don't know anyone (story time at the library, playgrounds, etc).

    I just get together with a few friends that have kids around the same age. It will be easier when they get a little older and can interact more when summer comes along, so we can go on walks and to the park other outside things. I am also on a meetup website, but haven't gone to any yet. A lot are during the day I'm a teacher so that is hard, but I plan on going to a few this summer.

    meetup.com is great, but you should also ask around to see if your neighborhood has a facebook page or a listserve.  My neighborhood has both, and it's been a great way to meet other moms.  Also, I don't know if you are a SAHM or not, but I've met some great people through my kids' daycare.  

    ETA: also, once the weather gets better, you can meet other moms at local parks/playgrounds.

    An acquaintance found out I was SAH and invited me to the play group she goes to. She was the only one I knew to begin with, but it's a small-ish group so I became comfortable with the others fairly quickly. I would also suggest checking facebook. Our group has a page (it's closed, but not private, so it shows up in searches).

    I also used meetup.com since we were new to the area and didn't have any friends/family here.  The people were complete strangers and it was awkward at first, but we have met some really nice people.

    Through church. Our mom's group is really young with young children around Nat's age so we get out at least once a week.

    I found my local group on facebook.  Another group in the area has a meetup.  I would also suggest just googling for play groups in your area.  When we moved, I made the decision to go to a non mobile baby's get together when L was 4 months old and I met some of my good friends there.  I also attend other events that are put on by the mothering group to try to continue to meet new people.  Good luck!
