[quote=Anonymous]My kid is rising a 3rd grader.  We are switching schools for this school year and will stay at this school going forward, and I would really like to make some mom friends there.  What I mean by mom friends is I want friends that I can meet up with on the weekend with the kids for a whole family meetup, or vacation together, who become family friends.  We have no family friends or any local family, and that makes weekends feel lonely, especially if I can't schedule any playdate for my kid and since my husband works a lot of weekends.

I made mom friends when my child was a toddler/preschooler and Kindergartner, but these friends either moved away or we grew apart as the kids went to different schools so I really don't have any mom friends anymore.  Playdates have all been dropoff mainly, and for whatever reason the moms of my kid's friends and I have not become friends.

I'd love to find mom friends that also become my real friends, but it seems like this is a tall order for some reason, even though I usually have a lot in common with many moms and we have tons to talk about, for whatever reason we don't end up hanging out just ladies only or keeping in touch.

I've made friend through hobbies that I get together with just me and them, but on the weekends I'm spending time with my child, and they either don't have kids or have much older kids, so we don't meet up on the weekends usually (maybe for a Saturday night dinner or something once in awhile).

Is it too late to make mom friends since playdates are now mostly drop-off and we're out of the playgroup age range?[/quote]
