[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s totally great to find a mom group, etc. But I also caution you NOT to make that the sole focus of your friendships. Also be open to friending people in a book club of all marital statuses with or without kids (as an example). The closest friends I’ve made as adults are a woman who has never married or had kids and two women with kids much older than mine. One of our closest couple friends are grandparents of 4, while we still have a middle schooler.

You know who can make totally last minute plans and be flexible if you have a last minute glitch — the single woman, the empty nesters and the grandparents. Not the moms with one or two other small kids.[/quote]

I’m pp who said I made some of my closest friends when my kids were babies and toddlers. As our kids enter middle and high school, our kids are barely friends and it is getting busier and busier. I definitely still consider them my friends but it is harder to meet up and hang out since our friendships are no longer based on our kids and hanging out as entire families.

I would love to meet new single or childless people but I have 3 kids and in our forties. Everyone we know has kids. [/quote]
