I am in desperate need of some sort of social group in my area. Book club, play group, Mom's club, anything. I have 3 kids 6, 3, and 2 and all my friends are childless (most through no fault of there own, and I'm sorry for that)but that means that they have no clue what I'm going through and am often excluded fron social activities now that the kids are to old to throw in the carrier and just go. I loved my Mom's group when I had one infant child but the mom's groups seem to be geared to first time parents of small babies and now, I really don't fit in there either. They're all on "how can i get my kid to sleep" and I'm at "how do I force the school to deal with my kids dyslexia", and sometimes "let's put Nemo in and I'll supply the crackers and cheese if you bring the wine". So in short. I've been here about 3 years with no family or support to speak of and am feeling a bit isolated. I'm looking for a regular group, I have a big fenced in yard in Smithfield and am happy to host. If you know of any existing groups or if you'd like to start one with me, I'm totally game.

Vicki, I live in Hampton and you are well over an hour from me, but Maybe we can get together twice a month or so, one time at your house, the next at mine so we both get stuck driving. I have a back yard that will very soon be fenced in and my kids love to have new friends. My daughter is starting preschool next week but we are always up for a cookout on the weekend.

I know the feeling of being isolated and having no friends. I really do have no friends. LOL. I joined meetup.com and found 2 playgroups here in Hamtpon and Newport News. There are groups closer to your area or you are welcome to join one on the peninsula if you dont mind paying for the gas to travel here. Through these groups I have made a couple of real friends finally, after being in this area for almost 4 years. So try meetup.com and see if you can find something that will be just right for you. Good Luck.

I just moved to the same area and am in the same boat as you. We sound like we have a lot in common. Well, except for the dirty face part-I have OCD which I thought having children would cure, but I'm still waiting! :) I did notice in the local paper that there is an IOW Mom's Club. They're having an open house on the 25th at 10:30 at Providence United Methodist, or you can email ____@____.com can email me if you'd like to talk more.
