Look I know everyone is busy, I am too, and a lot of times overwhelmed by life as a single mom who is coparenting with someone who definitely caused me most of my stress in my life.
But I really really want a community here.
It’s been hard to find a mom friends but I have not lost hope, I have this vision of a supportive group, one that allows us to be ourselves and not only laugh but also cry and help each other out and just have dinner together and stop by just because and not make a whole event out of it. I want the kids to play in the backyard while the parents relax and chat or cook or do some housework together.
I get stuff comes up but I want a community that’s reliable and supportive whether over the phone or in person. There needs to be some level of effort, compromise and reliability to make it work though.
I have been ghosted more on these apps than I have ever been on a dating site to the point where I wonder if most of the messages I get are from bots. So I sat with myself and asked what did I do to contribute to this? Are my needs too specific? How am I not showing up? And I think the answer is I wasn’t consistent on here either, I’ve never ghosted but I haven’t put consistent effort in finding and creating the community I want.
So my intention is to check every single day for 2 min for one month to both put an effort in but preserve my energy if I don’t see traction.
Caveat is, I am looking for people close to where I live to make meetups more realistic and have a few common interests at least (like art / spirituality/meditation) and a boy who is around 6/7 with hopefully some interest in wrestling or similar ( just accepted that’s who my son is interested in playing right now no matter how much I try pushing otherwise but I’m hoping to change it later or if enough people gather it won’t matter)
I’m willing to host a get together at my house near south Seattle at least once a month, do some art with parents and kids or just play etc. after an initial play date :)
Who’s ready?!
