We moved again. My best friend moved to Alaska. My husband is a punk. I don't know anyone and being an at home mom makes it kind of difficult to make friends.

  • Get out of the house! Take your kids to different parks at different times of day (moms tend to be creatures of habit) until you make one or two new friends.

    It will be easier when school starts; PTA meetings can be a great place to make new friends.

  • Hi and welcome. I'm a newbie here myself. Since I left work I keep telling my husband I have no friends that I'm not related to. I've never been the type to go hang out with the girls at a bar or coffeeshop or anything like that. Until a few months ago I was going stir crazy because I don't like to have to get the kids ready to go out, I'm a homebody and usually only get out for the grocery store or dates with my husband and/or kids, or the occasional family function with all the cousins.

    I had been on Facebook for a couple years but only logged in a couple times. A few months ago, I got more invites from more family mebers so have since become much more active on it and am getting to know some of the 80 or so cousins on my dad's side of the family, most of whom I've never met. I've talked to my aunt whom I ever talked to before and learned alot of family history. i'm sure between Cafemom and other websites like meet-up.com and stuff you'll find plenty of people who have similar interests and even other kids for you to have your kids play with.

    Good luck and I hope you're out of your rut soon. I'm still working out of mine but it's a long process sometimes.

  • I feel your pain. I moved to Alabama and five years later I still don't have friends. Work, school, kids and husband I find it hard to get out and make friends. I did belong to one mommy's group but I got kicked out because I was not a stay at home mom and didn't believe in things like the way that they did.

    PTA's a great place to start, parks, look in the paper for special family events like kids day or farmer markets are some of my favorite places.
