Need mum friends and play dates for my son

💗 Sending you love. Isolation is an incredibly daunting feeling and I’m sorry you’re experiencing it.

Do you live near a town or city? How far are you willing to drive?

It's in the country,
Also I don't have my car during the day, I lend it to my partner for work, so thats made me cut off even more, can't get in my car and drive anywhere with my son anymore which I hate

If you live far out in the country and are not able to drive into town because your partner has the car, the best I could recommend would be to join MeetUp .com
It’s a website where you can find people that share you same interest, hobbies, opinions etc. you can literally find anything on there! I’m suggesting it to you because A LOT of groups meet virtually via Zoom/video calls. For example, if you like to crochet or knit you can join a group that meets via video once a week and you all knit together at the same time and show each other different designs, what your working on, how to do new patterns etc.

Well....if you have no car, how will you attend anything social?

You're basically saying they'd have to come to you for play dates. I guess you might find someone on peanut close to you.

Try the "mums looking for friends" group and post your location

I have had mums from this app come here for play dates before,
And I have a car, I paid over $15 grand for it, so yes I have a car, my partner just borrows it for work, he gets his new work car soon, so not completely screwed,
How do I post my location?

Could you inbox me and tell me how please?

If you’ve had mums from this app come to you before what you can do in the meantime is host mothers groups at your house weekly that way you get all those mamas in your house at the one time, even if it’s 2-3 other mamas that may help w your isolation for NOW until you can get out and about w your own car. Call them and ask what day suits them.

In rural area there’s always a Sunday farmers market somewhere, (even me who lives in city) attend those and you can meet locals as well as a fun day out for everyone, that’s a good way to meet mamas too. Who knows, the mama selling honey could have a 2yr old too 💁🏻‍♀️

so invite those mums over again...

You know how to make a post already. I suggested you post in the group called "mums looking for friends".

Never mind, you're in Mitchell. I doubt you'll get anyone new if youve already connected with the Mitchell peanut mums. You just need to work on those friendships.

I wish we were closer but I can be a friend in the states

I’ll text you. I don’t mind coming to yours every now and then❤️
