Good morning all,
Just a little about me, I am a 31 year old African American married women with one 6yr old male child. Over the past few years I have really been working on becoming a better wife and mother. As a result I removed my self from several of my friends who had different interest then my current goals. I would like to be around some positive women who enjoy life, know how to have fun. I really am just looking for someone to talk to on the phone, hang out occassionally and or have play dates with the kids.
It just seems to me that in this area its hard to find positive, trust worthy women who loves being a mom and at the same time knows how to have fun and maybe have a drink or two/dinner with the ladies at a decent classy place.
Well hopefully finds my post of interest,
Thanks much,
T
It shouldn't be impossible at all. Try going to a park in your area and meeting people.........That would be the best place to start. Getting to know them at the park and see their kids in action would be a great way to start a conversation as well.
Good Luck and hang in there.......it's time for you to be you for a bit....
Good luck to you...it's not just in your area! I've not been able to find any other "mom friends" either. I find either super religious moms who think having a glass of wine is a sin and have 6 or 7 kids, or the "oops" moms who had their kids and now want to pass them off to anyone else so they can go party. I hope you find the type of people you're looking for.
It just takes time and luck.
I had a great circle of friends for awhile where we'd all meet for dinner and wine on the veranda once a week at one of our houses and the kids would get their own little living room campout with sleeping bags and tents.
It was a real diverse group of people. Some, like myself, were students. Others were professors. Some were trades, some were professional. Some were the SAHP others were the WP.
Since moving I haven't found another group like that, which I miss. I have found some friends to go out with, but I really miss the inclusion of the kids and families.
Dear T, it's hard all over. Try to connect with the moms from your sons school and perhaps look into local moms groups or the gym and feel out the moms if they are fun and interesting. You sound like a cool/ fun mom and if I lived closer would love to hang and grab a cocktail once in awhile. Good luck. Maybe your post will find some local moms for you.
Hello,
I don't mean to sound mean, but you could still have your friends that have different goals than you. They could be your chat buddies. When it comes to play dates and other things, you could have different friends. I understand where you are coming from, you need to be around positive people. But as you go thru your life also remember that you can't forget about you, Good Luck
