Any moms on here in the same spot as me when trying to make friends

Does anyone else find it so hard to make mom friends on here? I’m 40 and only have one child, and I feel like I’m in such a weird middle ground. Most moms my age have multiple kids from toddlers to grown adults. It’s hard to connect when our lives are in such different stages. But when I find a mom with only one kid my daughter’s age, she’s usually in her early 20s, and it just feels like we’re in different worlds, ya know different generations and honestly I'd feel like a mom to the mom. I’m really looking for someone who resonates with this, not just to make a friend for myself, but so our kids can have playdates and we can actually do local hangouts. It just feels like I don’t fit into a specific category on here.

Same same. And to top it off, I just went through divorce. How many 40-year-old moms to a single 3-year-old are divorced? I’m starting to build my mom tribe, and some of them are within the 34+ group, so we’re making work.

Hi, I hear you! You are not alone. Im in my late 40s, with a 4 year old. Most people my age have kids going to college. I feel like I cannot connect. Its hard momma. Hang in there. We are here for you

Yeah that’s why I don’t look for mamas w only children, or mamas “my age”. My bestie is 10yrs younger w 1, (her kid is 2yrs younger than mine though I met her when she was 2m pp) and my other bestie is 6yrs younger but has 2U2, the older one same age as mine. I think cast your net wider. As long as one of her kids is around the same age and you vibe, that’s still okay to me. But also, we do lots of girl dinners and drinks so in that case, her kids age doesn’t matter, we just need to vibe.

I'm 45 with a 4 yr old. All my friends kids are getting ready to graduate 🤦🏾‍♀️

40 here with a 2 yo. Maybe if you post your LO's age and the general area you're in, someone can relate from near you. :-)

No one can see your profile here though because you're incognito :-(

How do you occupy yourself when not talking to someone while in a new relationship?

I recently started talking to someone and I want to talk to them all day long. I know he’s not that type and that I need to learn to be ok with that but I’m going crazy!!

Baby dad kicked me out

Me and BD haven’t been able to see eye to eye since the baby was born. We got into really bad a few times and I left last Friday just so we can both get some space for each other. I went back to my house and stayed for the weekend. I ended up getting hospitalized and he had to watch the baby, all our stuff is between my house and his house. my mom lives at my house with my brother and step dad. I let them have the whole house because I moved in with the baby dad after the baby was born. Idk wtf she told him and now he won’t let us come back to live with him. I can’t live at my house because I can’t take care of any of them including my which (which is why I left in the first placex they are all disabled) now he’s says I can’t come back to live at his place and I’m just distraught cause I have no where to go with the baby and I haven’t gone back to work yet. Idk wtf to do. I literally cannot stay at my house, it was only suppose to be for a few days and now I have nowhere to go. I was trying to avoid a fight between me and BD which is the reason I left to begin with. I’m literally losing it. My baby is only 3 months old. I’ve lost my milk supply due to the stress of all this happening. My baby is my world and now I don’t how I’m going to care for him. My mom cannot help me in the slightest way not even looking after the baby or buy a diaper for him. wtf am I suppose to do.
