Where is Everybody?


Question Posted Friday October 29 2004, 11:05 pm

When you are a new mom, but are used to having tons of friends back in the high school days which aren't so long ago, and all your friends have all been gone for a year since the baby, and you have no way of locating old friends, how do you find new ones? My life consists of like the grociery store, and Wal-Mart, will I ever have a life again? I'm so confused, I used to have SO MANY friends, guys and girls, and they've all just fallen into the black hole in the earth. Can other moms relate, and even though I love time with my child, I can't help but remember and long for those days of talking to people my age, besides family. How can I befriend other moms my age without looking weird?

OH hun don't feel bad. So many moms go through that.

You have to search... there are groups for moms.
Try church, even if you aren't religious, they have special groups for women and mothers that are very fun and insightful and really bring something new to lives.
Try doing community service or volunteering... you'll meet new people and feel better.
The gym/recreational center is often a place to meet other people. If you think that I could help you, email me your interests, age, location, and some other similar information and I could possibly find the right place for you to make friends. Good luck :)

The same way you did in high-school. Just talk to them and invite them places and things. They don't have to be Mom's. And they have a website where you can search for high-school friends.

yes. i have seen mothers that way, i have a mother myself. But you have to handle to timing. Like, maybe you should have waited or maybe you should understand that the black hole in the earth is what every mother tends to fall into once they have kids. everything will fall into place once you fall into what your missing out on....which is....your kids are supposed to be your best friends. So, call your friends every once in a while and still know your kids are what keep you together. Hey, i know because, im a child of a mom, and i help keep her together. Take my advice. It will help.

-hope everything turns out good-

hey im not a mom..but i hope i can help out anyway. Does your child go to daycare? If so just spaark a convo with a mother (a young one who looks abbout your age) and who knows..after awhile u might hang out with her or bring ur kids to the park and play..theres a suggestion. Or at work are there young people there? Maybe make friends with them. Im 15..so im experiencing these "golden years" right now..i hang out with friends all weekend. Now that ur a mom and an adult..i dont think it can ever be that way again but im sure you`ll make a friend with another mom and go out to lunch or a movie once in awhile...that whati hope for bc im very social now. Its a hard transition i bet...going from a big crowd of friends to nothing..but u can regain it back!
hopei helped
