I should join a mommy club, but that sounds like effort. I also think that most moms in my area are older than me and would just give me glares. I do have two friends who are becoming parents soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978453 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:48:21 +0000 lamariniere 978453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All parents who became friends. But we moved to this city less than a year ago and I joined a few baby groups. Since I don't speak the local language here, I don't have too many other social occasions. All of my old friends are still childless and most plan on staying that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978409 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:32:43 +0000 skibobrown 978409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Locally mine are all parents who became friends. That's basically because we moved away from our longtime home several years before giving birth to DD and then again when she was 4 months old. We have lots of longtime friends back home who had kids on the same timeframe as us, but we only get to see them 1-2 times per year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978283 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:59:53 +0000 sandy 978283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my friends who became parents had their kids way before us...and they live an hour or so away. Most of my mom friends are also back to work at this point so I had to make all new friends. I have a good group of mom (and one dad) friends now...about 6 of us meet at least twice a week and I'm in a picnic/park play group, and there are several other mom friends that I meet up with at various activities (pool mom friend, library story time mom friend, music mom friend, etc) I probably made the most friends when LO was around 14 months and we started doing lots of activities...she's almost 21 months now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978269 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:55:22 +0000 mrsjyw 978269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my bff down the street is a friend who became a parent, i also have a few distant church friends who are parents. elsewise-- i don't have in real life mom friends! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978254 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:51:45 +0000 T-Mom 978254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my parent friends are from work or from my kids' school. However, those friendships are definitely not as close as my college friends who have kids. I just live too far away from all of them and it makes me sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978207 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:43:03 +0000 Running Elley 978207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly friends who became parents- none live close though!</p> <p>I have one parent who became friend but I need more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978186 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:38:13 +0000 lindseykaye 978186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two couples that were friends-&gt;parents along with us and were able to meet some of their friends who are parents and then became our friends.<br /> I have yet to branch out and fully befriend any moms I have met through daycare, etc. but maybe someday?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978161 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:32:17 +0000 sslm 978161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All parents that became friends!

And unfortunately almost all of them live out of state or in different boroughs so it's hard to get together. I can't wait to have local parent friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-978000 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:43:59 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 978000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are all friends who became parents, and like you, none of them live close enough for spontaneous play dates except our neighbors... Who are parents that became friends!!</p> <p>Our closest friends in proximity are pregnant with their first, and Chloe will be 2 years older than their child so I don't see play dates in our future :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-977993 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:40:03 +0000 Adira 977993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are all friends that became parents. But it sucks because none of our LOs are really close in age, so play dates are kind of out at the moment. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-momdad-friends#post-977987 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:37:40 +0000 Dandelion 977987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are friends who became parents for the most part.

I need to branch out and meet local parents who can turn into friends! </p>
