Anyone up for a Playdate?

I am 24 years old and have really good friends that I love to hang out with...but with one problem. Almost all of my friends are single and have no children. It's hard b/c they don't understand that like a 3 year old boy doesn't want to sit around and listen to two grown ups talk "girl talk" for an hour. My world is so different from theirs and its been hard for me to put myself out there and meet other moms. I think most people think I am just babysitting so they don't really take me seriously as a mom. I am a very outdoorsy kind of person and love being adventurous and doing new and fun things with my toddler. If you feel the same or have any advice or just anything--I would appreciate it! Was there even a question that I asked in there?? Just respond if you want to =)

What can I do next?

Hi, My name is N. sahm of 3 boys in Hoover. I belong to a great moms group (http://sahm.meetup.com/1091/) Tasha is the organizer, I am the co-organizer. We get together twice a week, have a message board and a wonderful group of local sahm's who are very supportive. Please look into our group and send a request to either Tasha or myself.

Hi,
I am a 32 year mother of a 2 year old. I don't have many friends in B'ham with children either. I would love to get together for playdates. We live in a small apartment, so I am always looking for something to do outside the home. During the week I have to work, but the weekends are usually free. Please e-mail me at ____@____.com if you would like to get together. Same for all the other moms who have posted.

I also love the outdoors and would love to find something for me and my daughter to do that will allow her to play outside. She is at daycare most of the time, so I try to maximize any time I can to get her outdoors, even if it is just going to the park.

Hey J.,
I'm 23 and have a 3 yr old son and a 1 yr old daughter. I'm going through a divorce right now---so it's just me and the kids. We don't get to get out of the house very much and I don't have any friends that are even close to my age with kids so I would love to get together for a playdate some time. I work full time, but the weekends are always open. You can email me sometime if you'd like. ____@____.com to hear from you soon.
