SAHM- friends?

Emeraldeyed315 · October 2013

I consider myself a sahm, even though I work 1 day a week. It seems quite a few are sahm's on the boards. IRL, do you know many sahm? I only know 1 besides me and got the side eye from quite a few friends for leaving my FT job.

I joined my local MOMS Club a few years ago after my first. I love it! I've actually been a board member for the past 2 years. I have met my best friends there!

I also work 12 hours a week.

If you go to momsclub.org you can see if there is a chapter near you.

Otherwise, I met lots if pals at breast feeding support groups at local hospitals and baby library story times.

I know a few but only one of them lives in the NYC area. I am a working mom and unfortunately most people in this area are. I believe it's because COL is so high.

I live in a small town. I wish their was a mom group around here.

I have a few friends who SAH. Most my friends are just having kids, and we have 3. So we don't really mesh well.

Five of my friends are, and I two of them are stay at home dads. I stay home currently but that is because I am having trouble finding a job.

I only have a couple. I'm hoping to find mom groups in the near future

One of my SAHM friends has meet a lot of other SAHMs through meetup.com. You could see if there are some groups in your area.

I found a Parent Education course through the local adult school, which is basically a mommy and me group when my first son was born. I still hang out with all of those moms, and even do date nights with our husbands. Meeting those girls was life changing for me. The life of a SAHM can be very lonely. Check & see if you can find something like that in your area?

I am a SAHM and I have no friends that live in my city. It's quite pathetic actually, I am quite lonely. I moved to this city in January and have met a grand total of 0 people, I'm SO popular! The only SAHM I know are my bump friends. In fact, they're the only friends of mine that I talk to on an everyday basis.

I don't really have any SAHMs that I regularly hang out with. I was talking to a lady at the pedi's office with her son today and she seemed really nice. I wanted to 'ask her out' but couldn't think of a non-creepy way to do it. Then we were called into the exam room and she was gone once we were finished. Siiiiiighhh....

I have no friends here really. Had a really hard time meeting other women when I moved here. All my close friends are across the country. I want to look into some of the moms groups soon to try to meet friends and for future play dates for LO.

I am now a SAHM. I have a few SAHM friends from my church group. It started out as a young adults group, before we knew it almost all of the members were couples, now all of us have young children, most born within a year of each other. I'm looking forward to getting together with them more during the week as DS becomes more manageable and I'm better at keeping track of the two of them.

Haha.. this is so true. I've met so many moms this way and thought, should I ask for their number? Is this awkward? Finally, I just started saying, hey, do you want to meet up sometime and the kids could play? We exchange numbers, and voila! I've met two friends this way. Works best at the park. :-)

I don't know of any other stay at home moms. I do get pretty lonely sometimes spending all day every day with just LO and having no adult conversation. I am thinking about checking out a local MOPS group.
