[quote=Anonymous]Are you looking for mom friends, or families with whom you can hang out on the weekend and also include your child?  The latter is difficult as the kids get older.  You've basically outgrown days of the kids playing while the parents hang out.  When kids are young, you can throw a group of kids together and everyone has fun.  Now, kids only want to socialize with their actual friends... not your friends who happen to have kids their age.  Also as they get older, the kids don't want to be hanging on the fringes while the parents hang out.  They want to do their own thing.  Also, it sounds like you have an only.  Doing something like what you sound like you want is exponentially harder when you have multiple kids as they get older.  Maybe look for other families with onlies?

It's not too late to make mom friends.  It's just that your social life and you child's are not as intertwined.  This has actually been great for me and allowed me a little more freedom in choosing who my friends are, and I love it.  I have several mom friends.  However, I don't typically hang out with them during the day on the weekends (like I used to when the kids were young and it was easy to meet at a playground, etc.).[/quote]
