YMCA! I had my oldest when I was 20. I joined the YMCA to work out because they had childcare. Then I found out they had play classes and then I met the other moms from the play classes.
What you will find is there is little difference between 20 and 30 when you have the common interest of kids. I was the youngest of our group but I never felt like it.
Check out the ymca in your area and see if they have any mom and baby classes. I met a BUNCH of moms that way.
we can be in the lonely mom club together....sigh
we are in the same boat except we are 35 and 41! LOL we just have always been shy people. so sad i know lol
Check the local hospital. In Sarasota, we had a mom's group that went up to 1 year-old babies. That was 8 years ago, and I am still close friends with 5 of the ladies. I had just moved into the area when I delivered, and didn't know anyone. My dd had colic really bad, so I didn't go until she was 3 1/2 months. It turned out, they were even use to babies screaming, but welcomed me anyway. Also, look online, we have a lot of free mom's group in our area.
Hi Mama
As Theresa said you can hang out here.
Seriously sometimes I have more communication here than I have with people in my area.
The thing is I feel lonely sometimes too.
We moved around 4 yrs ago so all my girlfriends are a 3 hr drive away. I get to see them approx 3-4 times a year.
I am not one for making friends for the sake of it ,I have to have a natural connection with someone.
I talk to other Mums at the park etc
Keep smiling
B. k
also meetup.com - put your zip code in and type "mom groups" or something like that in the search.
I had to smile at your comment about being desperate. Guess its a natural state for a 21 year old mother. Been there, done that, have a trio of grownups to prove it ;-D
At times, it wont be easy. Others, not so bad. I've found Mamapedia is an excellent site for moms questions. Get to know your neighbors, they are your closest "family". Visit a nearby park. You'll find other mothers there, too
Congratulations on your baby.
Aww....I am sorry.
I meet alot of SAHM's when I take my baby to play groups. Look up Kid's Activity Centers, Baby gyms, Baby and Mommy Yoga, and Mommy and baby playgroups in your area. The one I go to is only 8$ for a day, the babies have a good time, and you will meet some moms. Good luck!
