First time moms of only children

Hello! I'm newer to New York and have an only child who is almost three and stays home with me full time. How are parents finding new friends for their toddlers when they don't know anyone with children already? I'm feeling like I'm failing my son socially but not having friends or family with children his age and the process of finding new people has been hard and lonely!

mommy friends

y’all are boring to talk to 😭😂 like damn, i just want friendships where the conversation actually flowssss. i don’t wanna feel like i’m carrying the conversation or i’m the only one being open & actually trying. ask questions, tell stories, share random shit, let’s skip the awkward small talk & talk like we’ve known each other forever 😂 i wanna feel like i’m talking WITH you, not interviewing you lmao.

When did you first go out?

For something small like a coffee or short walk around the shops

Time off work to care for sick toddler

Hi mums,

My wee one had to be picked up from nursery on Wednesday afternoon and we ended up in A&E with 40C fever (my wee one is 15 months old). I then told my employer and told them that I’ve to take off the next few days. In total I took two days and the weekend (weekends I’m off anyway). We had a chat about me taking off to take care for my child but it was very vague. My wee one is still having slight fever and cold symptoms and she’s supposed to go back to nursery tomorrow and me returning to work. Obviously, as long she’s having fever I am feeling very uncomfortable not caring for my child. I’m trying to find out what the general rule of law is in Scotland when it comes to taking off to take care of your children. I can’t really find anything, I’m not expecting to be paid but I’m worried to call sick for another day tomorrow (partner can take over from Tuesday). Anyone any guidance? Thanks 🙏🏻

Where’s my yappers at?!

I need someone to text back and fourth all day! Now I get, we get busy and things like that. I work and have three kids, so I totally get it. But I just want to yappppp about everything and anything! I feel like as soon as I give my number out, everybody disappears😔

PSA🚨

If you’re on here begging for a friend and then use one word replies and then ghost. . You’re WEIRD. . And this app isn’t for you. . IDK about you . But I’m on here to make REAL friends that are capable of holding a conversation!… and NOT talking about themselves the ENTIRE time. . Girl bye. 👋..
