Hellobee Boards

It's hard. Once or twice a week our Early Intervention providers come over and that might be my adult interaction for the week which is so sad. If I get out to Target or the grocery store on the weekend I'm doing really well that week and might get to make small talk with the checkout person, woohoo!

Basically the same as @fancyfunction: I try to do a girls night every month or couple weeks, then day dates out with DH. I also volunteer with two different organizations that have various meetings and get togethers every couple of weeks as well. Further, LO is in music class and we come and play before and after class so I get to chat with the other moms.

Have you looked into any moms groups on meetup or other sites? I know lots of mom have luck with those and setting up regular play dates!

I think it's defjnitely something that you have to be proactive about. The first 6 months or so I barely socialized but then realized that getting out really made me a happier and better mom, so I made it a priority!

Good luck!

I don't. I'm pretty lonely in that respect.
we got to story time but I don't talk to those mom's outside of storytime.

Sometimes I feel like Hellobee is my adult interaction! That and the Today show...

I started doing a stroller fit workout class recently and it's so fun to be out with the kids and talking to other moms. I also do quite a bit of hanging out with friends on the weekends. My in laws and aunt visit us every once in a while too.

When I was on maternity leave and LO was old enough that I felt comfortable taking her out I made it a point to leave the house for some reason every day. I became friends with some women in the breastfeeding support group I went to which led to "play dates" where we'd walk around the park with the strollers. I also did Stroller Strides which was awesome. I didn't discover Stroller Strides until near the end of my maternity leave but I felt like I would've become friends with several of the women if I'd become a regular.
