ok, this feels pretty pathetic, but here goes. i'm 30, married and 17 months pg and i have no friends. i haven't lived in nyc too long and most of my friends are either late 20something singles or 3000 miles away on the west coast (that's where my family is too). obviously my priorities have changed and going to bars or standing up at loud shows until all hours just isn't in the cards anymore. my dh tries, but he works long hours and i really miss having an active social life. it's really starting to get to me. any suggestions on where or how to meet new young mothers or other young pregnant women or anyone to hang out with? i know, it's pathetic, but i'm not sure what else to do.
8 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]Search yahoo for a parenting group in your neighborhood (such as Park Slope Parents if you live in Brooklyn). Form a mommy group for mothers in your hood whose children are the same age as your own. This will create a vital lifeline for you when the baby arrives. The boredom and anxiety of being home alone with a new baby can be stressful.
[ Reply | Options ]I was in a similar situation - don't worry, it will all change once your db is born. You will go to mommy lunches, breastfeeding groups, or whatever and make friends. You will join a playgroup and make one good friend there. It might take a few months but it will really happen. I know it's hard to deal with now but be a little patient and you'll make new friends.
