[quote=Anonymous]Agree that finding some activity where there are lots of other parents is the best way. Friendships happen from repeated interactions with the same people - and especially when you are working on things together. Places I've seen moms make friendships in late elementary: PTA, coaching girls on the run, summer swim team (if you volunteer a lot), hosting neighborhood bbqs, running the bookfair. Those activities can lead to people chatting about their hobbies or events and being able to pipe in "oh, I'd love to get closer to some other moms. If you have another happy hour some time I'd love to come" or "I've always wanted to try climbing; could I tag along with you sometime?". Age 9 can be a little hard as a lot of other parents kind of have established themselves in a crowd, but that just means you need to put yourself out there a little more and take risks on initiating friendships. Once you connect with a group connections will lead to more connections.[/quote]
