[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a standing low pressure Girls Night at your house after the kids have gone to sleep.(9-10:30)  Do it every 3rd Sat. Invite 6-8 people so if a few can’t make it NBD. Make sure they know it’s a Sweats and no-make up Girls Night.

Buy guac, hummus, chips and some veggies. Tell everyone it’s BYOB. And if anyone asks if they can bring something “as long as it’s low effort you can bring sweets”. [/quote]

+1. When the kids were younger we did the Moms night out maybe once a month back in the day the kids had early bedtimes.  We had time to talk without the kids and picked a time we typically had available which for us was a weeknight.  I know someone else that has brunch with some regularity with her friends.  The big thing to making it work is you have to have friends willing to carve out their own time and socialize without their children. Then from there you find a time or activity that is the least disruptive to the family schedule and have with some sort of regularity.

Oh, I’d forgotten people would have Book clubs that could sometimes serve some of that socializing purpose but I think that works better if you are already friends and all genuinely want a book club.  People also do social activities following athletic ones like being in a runners group etc.  [/quote]
