I only recently found your Substack! Yeah, outside of my son’s class, it’s hard to connect with other moms. I don’t really see people much, with work and my recent health issues. Even then, I’m really only talking to moms of the kids my son plays with.
You’re still farther along than I am. I struggle with getting the conversation past the gates of the school. I sort of don’t want to make the first move?, as it then puts me in the initiator position that I’m pretty much over being in all the time. 🙈 it’s a cycle!! It’s really like daring honestly
It wasn't till my kids could walk and talk that I was ready to have new friends. I think it's hard to get over the emotional burden of an infant and also be open to new people. For me, the library led to connections and also being desperate enough to make it happen
The desperation is key LOL, in some cases. I can remember days I felt so desperate for the companionship of another mom that I sat in coffee shops probably staring until a smile was returned 🥲
