It had a fee of around $150. The group met weekly for awhile with a facilitator and we talked about different parenting topics. We still get together every so often now but it's mostly the moms since the kids all have different schedules. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2546081 Wed, 11 May 2016 09:38:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2546081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Facebook groups, but I've never been to any organized events/meet-ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2546021 Wed, 11 May 2016 08:49:14 +0000 Caly 2546021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Parents of Multiples....meetings are once a month and usually include an activity. Then there are other outtings/interspersed throughout the month/year. Think it's about 45 a year. People will also post if they're going to the park, etc and people will meet up. There's also a play group once a month which is fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545916 Wed, 11 May 2016 06:50:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2545916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it's just a Facebook group. I mainly go on to ask for local based kids ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545906 Wed, 11 May 2016 06:24:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2545906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, there's a woman who is the facilitator in getting moms with similarly aged babies together. We did pay a fee but I think there are plenty of ways to find free meet ups.<br /> We paid for a 6 week (I think) "session" where we actually met with a licensed social worker and talked about new mom stuff. It was so so so nice. There are 10 of us.<br /> That was 1.5 years ago and we no longer pay the fee, but we still get together monthly for dinner and email weekly, sometimes daily. We still use each other as sounding boards and to ask opinions on products and stages and so forth.<br /> We don't always meet as a big group. Sometimes somone will say "I'm going to the park anyone want to join?" And maybe 2-3 go with LOs. Or Ive met with a couple for lunch one-on-one. </p> <p>It's been great and I consider them some of my closest friends. Having women in the same boat as you is invaluable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545894 Wed, 11 May 2016 05:41:26 +0000 petunia354 2545894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a Mom's and More group in the area I live. I think the dues are $25 annually. I found them on facebook. They have an email listserve and an FB group and a website to sign up for events. It's been a great resource! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545867 Tue, 10 May 2016 23:53:10 +0000 lamariniere 2545867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a local English speaking group. It's huge (thousands of members) and they assign you to a group based on your child's age. There was a one time fee of about €35 and I've been in it for 3 years. We used to meet up weekly when the kids were infants, but everyone is back at work so it's more like mom's night every couple of months. There are also some random Facebook groups, but I only use the buy/sell ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545863 Tue, 10 May 2016 23:37:29 +0000 birdofafeather 2545863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MOPs through a friend and we ended up attending the church as well. Scheduled meetings 1-3 times a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545857 Tue, 10 May 2016 23:10:48 +0000 youboots 2545857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mops, it's 1x a month during the school year plus casual outings. I think it was $75 for the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-part-of-any-local-momdads-groups#post-2545845 Tue, 10 May 2016 22:24:59 +0000 autumnlove 2545845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you find the group and how often do you meet up? :-) Are there any fees? </p>
