In need of some friends

I would suggest that you pack a picnic lunch and have dinner with the kids. If you do this you will find people in your area to talk to with children your kids can play with. Another possibility is go to church close by. When I was a child most of my memories and friends were from church. I still have friends I met as a little girl in church. It gave us a good foundation and lots of positive reinforcement. You could also start a play group in your area. Start going for walks with the children in the evenings and see how many other parents are in your state of mind and needing some adult time with some nice children play time. All my neighbors are amazed at all the other neighbors I know who I have met by taking the dogs for a walk and saying "HI". Also make trips to the library= they have story times for little ones and good books to open your childrens imagination. There isn't any charge and you can even rent free movies and music. Good Luck Remember = every journey starts with one step!! Pat

I feel the same way. I just moved to a small town and I don't have any friends either. I have posted on here about meeting people and I have never gotten a response. I used to have friends but after i had my babies they disappeared. Its just me and my kidsos!!! ;-)

Me too. I have friends with kids my sons age but they get on my nerves because they arent to down to earth. I guess we dont have the same views on things and im picky who my kid goes around. I moved 5 years ago and i know alot of ppl but I dont talk to anyone much. Id love to get out of the house once in a while and go with other moms to the park or something like that.

I am also in the same boat. I have very little friends too. I wish I could hang out with other moms to. I thought about starting a stay at home moms group in my community. Maybe you should give it a shot where you live.
