So about this (Moms dont want mom friends fr) thing.
We all want this legendary “village” folks keeps telling us is needed to raise children and help moms and alot of us probably got on this app to find it.
Ive been on both sides of the “moms dont want mom friends” coin. So I figured itd be a good idea for us to put our heads together to see if we can bridge the gap (Like a village! … see where im going?)
Could yall tell me in the comments
What makes it hard to make mommy friends? (Eg. Not enough time to keep up with messages, very shy, dont feel understood, super busy with life, etc) or whatever pain point.
What does a village look like if we supported each other? (Eg. More positive posts, posting mom get togethers publicly, etc) or other solutions to possible pain points.
Cause im sure people are looking for their people but are also struggling how to go about it. Im really curious about the root of it and some ideas on how I (or we!) can navigate.
No judgement here btw. Im in no postion to. Life be lifin. But would love to hear yall thoughts

One issue is that my toddler doesn't like strangers, so any meetup or playdate, she would just be stuck to me crying the whole time, which can and probably will set off her sister. Another is that I can't get out of the house on time with 2 under 3. So if I'm doing something that starts at a specific time, I've got to be up way earlier than I need to be. Not having anything affordable to do, besides going to a park, is another.
I'm also not very outgoing. I've never really felt like I've had real adult friends. The ones I have now are really my husband's friends/coworkers. It always feels like people are forcing themselves to interact with me, so most of the time, I don't bother.
