Hi Gang! I have a two & a half year old. I would like to get to know other Mom's of 2-4 year olds in my area (Colonie). Seems there are a lot of Stay at Home mom's groups but none for working moms - it's bs....and while I wasn't working I went to several SAHM groups and well they were a bit too snooty for me. Ok , REALLY SNOTTY.
okay, Here's my side bar rant (I know I'm not alone on this)...It was my choice to go back to work, I enjoy work, in fact I LOVE it. AND I DO LOVE MY SON, I just needed more of a balance. Plus I love money (don't we all) and the freedom it mean to buy whatever I want without justifying to my husband and listening to his bitching that I spent blah..blah..blah...ahhhhh...SO don't expect this to be a one up'ing the other type of group, no snotts allowed, including my sister in law & her group - yes if you are reading this you are the biggest b's I know. Get over yourselves. It's not about what I am wearing, what my kid is wearing. What type of car I drive, what my husband does...how much money we have...geesh...isn't suppose to be about the kids???
Anyways, back to my thoughts. Though not necessary, maybe mom's of kids that will go to Saddlewood in S. Colonie in a few years would be great. AGAIN THIS IS NOT NECESSARY..and NOT TO BE SNOTTY EITHER...SAHM (and the fam) ARE WELCOME TOO. Just understand that I am looking for get togethers, playgroups, outings, etc after the workday/weekends. Also I was thinking it might be super cool if we can get enough of family's together to plan outings for discount tickets - group rates. BBQs. Baby Sitting exchanges. Etc.
Hi all who responded (including Gina who wrote as I was typing this up, lol). So I think I'm going to make an impromptu meet-up no stress about coming/ not coming... Weather depending.. Place, location?
Suggestions: The Crossings in Colonie? Time 5:30pm? Or I have a swingset at my house in Colonie off 155/Central Ave area? I can host a small group, we can hang out in the yard, etc (I do have dogs, but can bring them inside). Let's chat. ____@____.com
Hi, I have a 4yr old son and I have had the same problem. I have tried to find groups for moms who work but want a play group or some mom time. I live in Woodlawn, Schdy area. If you are interested let me know. ____@____.com
I am the mother of 4 children and while I am a SAHM right now I know that I will be going back into the work force in the very near future. I have never joined a mommy group but I know that I'd be interested in one. I have a 2yr old a 3yr old, a 12 yr old and a 1 week old baby. I think it would be kind of cool to get a group of parents and children together that was large enough to have group trips.
I too am a working mom, just back to work with a 3 month old. I think this is a great idea. People work for many reasons and to be honest it has been good to come back, even though it is hard to balance both jobs. It would be great to get together with other mom's in the same situation. Let me know if you get something together. I'm not sure where sandlewood is exactly, I think we go to Veeder.
(Please don't judge me because I don't know what school my child will go to)
Hi,
I'm a 28 year old mother and have been married 6 years. I remember looking for the same type of group when my first born was younger and wishing someone had started one. I work full-time and have been in school or working since my first was 3 months old. I have two boys. My oldest was 7 in May and my youngest was 4 in January. I would be interested for my 4 year old if you found a working mom's group because most of the mom's in his nursery class are stay at home mothers and get together during the day. Luckily they are not as snooty as the mothers that were in my oldest's class wehn he was that age.
So please let me know what you find!
