I have a 17 month old and haven’t felt so alone before. When he was younger and I was on maternity leave we attended 2 groups a week, had a handful of friends that we saw every so often and it really broke up the days. Said friends have not bothered with us since the start of the year unless I make contact. When we’ve made plans they’ve cancelled last minute. My son has finished the groups we were doing and we can’t yet get to baby/toddler groups as he still wants a nap in the morning. I work 3 days a week and the 2 days I have off with him I’m always so stuck for what to do and sometimes just wish there was someone or somewhere we could go and be around other mums and kids. I have no family nearby either. Due my 2nd early next year and maternity leave will be so different and much busier with 2 but I’m still worried about feeling lonelier than I do currently. It’s like there is so much to do for babies but as soon as they turn 1 the groups fizzle away and so do the friendships. He goes to nursery while I work so I’m glad he gets time with other babies/adults and all the activities they get up to, just be nice for us to have more on our days together

I'm sure your local libary does baby groups? Mine does, they are free too. They also sing songs and play with musical instruments. You can also get him a libary card and get books out for him. It gets you out the house and gives you both something different to do

Moms who actually want to hang out??
Maybe it’s just me but everyone’s profiles are like “ looking for mom friends “ , i then match with people I think I would vibe with just for us to have conversations and it’s either one word replies or one sentence come from the other person or no questions/ follow ups nothing. The conversation is like talking to NPCs.
I try to have actual conversations based on their profile so it shows I have interest and we can get to the point of being able to hang out in person and sometimes I get completely ghosted and it’s just like are people actually on here looking for Mom friends or are they just looking for a penpals??
I would actually go and hang out whether it’s for dinner, Lunch, walks in the parks, Anything as I truly do believe in community. But I don’t know maybe it’s just me lol I’m just excited about this new journey in my life and want to share that with like minded women.
