Hey girls! I really need your opinion!
Since i came to the USA it’s been tough for me to find friends. As i have a little daughter I thought of maybe meeting some other moms who have kids so we can go for walks together so the moms can hang out and the kids have fun together. As it happens in my country.
Now, I only see girls walking with the stroller by themselves normally so here it’s not common to hang out like this?
One girl that i met she said she barely sees other moms in our area and she has no company, so I offered her to go for walks together and she seemed pretty interested... it’s been like 3 weeks since I texted her and nothing.. I can’t get it lol what’s wrong... 😕

I've met acquaintances through local play groups. It's awesome because it makes it easier finding kids that are close in age. see if your local library has them or even elementary schools. Even the local early intervention has them as well sometimes.

Thank you for your tips! I will check if they have it here:)
I also think it’s awesome when the kids can interact between them. :)

What about local parks? Maybe u can meet some moms there? Or the library? Sometime they have story time. There’s play groups. Are u on Facebook? I’m not but I’ve heard there’s some groups for local moms. I meet people almost everywhere I go. But I’ll talk to anyone who would talk back haha! I have friends but I’ve lived here for years. We aren’t close as I’m in pa but hopefully u can meet some friends in the neighborhood?

Thank you for your suggestions! I should definitely try libraries, just asked my husband and he said there is one library nearby..
What about playgrounds they are always empty lol
Yeah I’m on FB, didn’t find any groups in Odenton but maybe I should research better.
Me too, I would talk to people mostly when I see they talk back haha you always want a feedback lol
I’m sure over time I’ll meet somebody as I will go to more places there will be a chance:)

Maybe try the peanut app or moms groups on Facebook? I’m sorry you are experiencing this. I guess people are just social where I live because I definitely see people in groups with kids.

There's a lot of scary stuff going on in the world right now. So sometimes mom so just trying to be protective of their kids. You never know who you can trust especially when it could be a stranger or your own family or someone you trust. There's a lot of sad 6 stories going on people kids getting kidnapped chicken away and stuff. Try not to take it personal you will find Mom friends

@eva.lenss17 trust me I get it I don't really go out and have a lot of mom friends mostly just few family members or a boyfriend. Also the mom friends that I do have sometimes our schedules don't work or we're just busy and don't have time to hang out all the time except once in a while when we do get to see each other

@bennysmom, yeah I understand you :) having some family around, even coworkers helps a lot, you can still have someone to talk to and distract yourself at work.
In my case I currently unemployed and I literally talk to nobody lol because of staying at home so much so yeah

Nothing's wrong per se. We live in a time where you can't be too careful. Some people like to stay to themselves just because or because they feel safer that way.

It’s probably not you. I’d rather be alone with my kids.

@eva.lenss17, I don’t actually. I’m a loner. I have people at work the I enjoy talking to and consider friends but that’s really it. Just me and my husband.

yeah, having people at work helps! And of course husbands help a lot, I wish I could spend more time with mine, he works so much...
Hibben ··
That makes it hard. And you daughter is still so young, she can’t really interact very much.

Some people might just like keeping to themselves!
