I joined a moms group back when I was on maternity leave. I really enjoyed connecting and craved the support. We had 6 moderated meetings weekly and a casual weekly outing we would plan at the meeting. It was great, everyone was really nice and it meant a lot to me. That being said, everyone aside from two moms went back to work and they all work normal work schedules. I work evenings and weekends. The two sahms weren't the ones I best clicked with of the bunch, so I've never really reached out to them about meeting up. They also have never initiated anything. Over the holidays, I met up with one lady and had a nice time, and recently had a play date with another lady who doesn't work every day. But that's it! I just feel jealous of mom groups that seem to meet up regularly and continue a relationship. I invited everyone to my sons first birthday, but no one was able to come. Ditto for a summer party we had.

Anyways I sound so sorry for myself and it's not s big deal. I just crave that connection still! I guess I should look into toddler play groups and other activities. I think I can be kinda shy to tell you the truth but I'd love to make some good mom friends.
