I did the mommy group thing..Wasn't for me. I don't really enjoy the obligatory small talk/diaper talk. Then they want to call you at home with all their problems, or they need favors..It sucks but ya really have to watch out for the "what can you do for me's"...You're better off taking him to a park solo, and just talk to whoever is there at the time. Small kids don't care that it's different kids all the time...Plus, you aren't obligated to anything when you want to go home, and ya don't have to get involved in their personal lives..If someone does say, "let's get together sometime". I just tell them, with an exhausted but nice tone, that I work part timne too, and don't have time and will see them when I see them...No one ever gets offened if you say it right..Don't mind me though, I'm more of a loner type myself, from too many prior "high maintenance" friendships...If you aren't like that, and are someone who is looking for friends to get intimate with, just procede w/caution..Ya may luck out and meet someone cool...
