Hi everyone!
Dont know if anyone can help but I am seeking friends that are normal. Im not asking for perfection!! Believe me!! Just a friend that is a Mom also. I stay at home. Im new to SAvannah. Ive only been here a year and a half and I spent most of the time pregnant and on bedrest (with my 2nd child) and completely out of it. I then had the baby (early) and then she was colic. Then my health went down hill and I am just now recovering and ready to get out. ITs spring and beautiful here in SAvannah and I love it here!! But I cant meet a normal friend to save my life. I tried a Moms group but got kicked out since I didnt go to enough meetings but their timings were not working for my daughters naps. I thought it was a bit harsh. Then I met some (what I thought) was a normal family up the street and they were crazy!! When I say crazy I mean, doing things around their children and my family that we thought was waaaaay out of line!! I do not care what people choose to do after hours but please not in front of my kids. Then last night we went to a friends house my husband met and I really like this guy, such a sweetie but he is divorced and to be honest most of the people there were all from the neighborhood and knew eachother and were not overly welcoming. I can talk to anyone. I tried for about 3 hours to converse with people but it was like pulling teeth and I finally gave up. I told my husband I was leaving and being the sweet husband he is he left too and we went out for a glass of wine somewhere else. I felt terrible for him but I couldnt take it. I love SAvannah, I know there are nice people here but we just cant seem to find them. We just want a family to hang out with or someone I can walk with that also is a Mom. It is hard for me because I came from my home town whereI had my family and a tight group of friends and I miss that here but yet I love Savannah so much more than my home town!! Any advice on where to meet other Moms in SAvannah. HELP!!!

What can I do next?

Hi K., I have a group of Mom's that get together usually about once a week. It is just a group of 4-6 of us with kids ranging in age from 1-5. Next time we get together you are more than welcome to join us. We met through our church Cross Roads Baptist on Middleground road. We have also picked up a few other Moms along the way. We typically meet out in Georgetown. You can email me if you are interested. If you live out in the Georgetown area I would love to have a walking partner!

HEllo. I am sorry that you have not expeirence the southern hospitality that we are so known for. I have been living in Savvanah all of my life. I also love it here, but you are right it is hard to meet people. Savannah is a very family formed place. I am 35 years old and I have 2 children and 2 step-children. I have been married to a wonderful man for 13 years. I have 2 part-time jobs. I attend church and I am very active in my church. I feel strongly about raising my children in a Godly home. I think it would be awesome to get to know eachother. A lot of my friends are from church. I feel that I am a pretty normal friend. Anyway I would love to get to know you. I also love to walk, because lets face it excersise is good for you. I like to go walking at the YMCA. Let me know what you think.

I am so sorry you haven't found any luck making any mom friends. I know they are so important to help keep your sanity, especially with the toddler age! I have a 2& 1/2 year old boy and belong to a playgroup and those moms have become some of my closest friends. Actually, the first message you got from Michelle is one of the wonderfully ladies in the playgroup I am in. Feel free to email me ____@____.com a great place to meet other moms are at library storytimes. The West Chatham Library in Pooler has an awesome storytime for toddlers. They aren't expected to sit still and be quiet but get around and dance and participate. They have storytime there Wen & Thurs at 10:30. I go on thurs and my son LOVES it!
