Your kids and SO don't count! Uh oh, I don't interact with many people these days!
Where do you get your real life social interactions with people?

At work, mainly.
-
Work!
-
At work, church, and going over to my parents house.
-
With family mostly, to be quite honest.
-
mainly at work.
-
Work. I prefer to focus mostly on my husband and daughter when I am not working. I am meeting some moms through a working moms group, though once a month. That's nice.
-
Through work, my volunteer work (every other week w/ my mentee & once a month with the entire org.), my local cafe, and occasional friend shindigs.
My social calendar has changed so much since having a baby! If it wasn't for work and volunteering I would rarely talk to anyone IRL.
-
Church, playdates, work, and I'm still really close to my friends from college and we're all really great about keeping in touch/meeting up.
-
Friends!! Lo isn't here yet so I still try to make social plans 1-3x/week (after work or on weekends) with local girlfriends. I'm sure that will change when Lo is here.
-
At school (but I tend to not like most of the people in my program, ha!) and work.
-
Work and neighborhood friends.
-
Friends sometimes, but that is MAYBE once a week. This includes DH and I's mutual friends, and their kids tag along.
-
Family and church, and work once i return from leave.
-
Dinner with friends (~1x mo), dinner with my husband's best friend and his wife (~2x/mo), moms groups (usually go to an activity 1x/wk), breastfeeding support group (1x/wk), work (3x/wk), DH's family (1-2x/mo).
ETA: I talk to my mom & sister on the phone almost every day.
-
Church, playgroup, book club, and we still hang out with friends regularly.
-
Work where I mostly interact with 4 year olds. My adult interactions come from coworkers/parents, church small group, and maybe meeting up with a friend once a week. I also talk to my sister a lot.
-
Friends, that's about it. Though it's fine for me, I'm a bit of a loner anyways
-
I kind of avoid them during pregnancy. My husband says I'm a hermit. I just don't have the energy or emotional strength to deal with how pushy/nosy people are when talking to a pregnant woman, so I kind of avoid talking at all.
So that leaves me with my midwives, other pregnant women (like the one I chatted with for half an hour in walmart yesterday about iron deficiency and where to find good dairy-free ice cream), and... that's kind of it.
I use self-checkout after four or five cashiers decided to make comments on my purchases and whether or not things were healthy for baby (and incidentally, my items were perfectly healthy). *sigh* -
Work, sports, and outings with friends.
-
Mostly family and picking up LO at daycare.
-
Ha....the grocery store. Pathetic!
-
@mrbee: it used to be at work, but since I'm on leave I'm feeling pretty isolated. I need to make some friends.
-
Well work, obviously, but I don't really count that as social interaction because they're not people I choose to speak to! I'm lucky to have a lot of friends - my BFF (who I see approx weekly and talk to most days), 5 very close female friends who I make time to see (maybe once a month each - and I talk to them regularly) and several others who I see less frequently. Then DH and I have a social circle of couples (and a few who are not in couples) who were his friends when we first met but are both of our friends now - and we see them perhaps once a month, maybe more often.
I'm not sure how all this socialising will work out once LO is here as most of it is pub related - but my BFF and three of the couples we hang out with have young babies so maybe we will hang out at the soft play in future!!!
-
Friends and coworkers!

Church.
-
Work, church, and the occasional girls' dinner date.

I REALLY need to get out more.
My younger sister lives with us so her boyfriend and her friends are around a few times a week. Does that count? Haha

Work and church. And we also make plans with friends quite often.

Work, playdates, and baby storytime. I need to get better about making plans with non-mommy friends!
