[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved to the DC area 10 years ago.  For the first 3 years, I focused entirely on being married, bought a home, my career which I worked very long hours at, and then got pregnant.  The next 5 or 6 years have been focused on raising my kids and we built a new home.  Now that the dust has finally settled and my second child is in Kindergarten I realized that I didn't spend any time trying to form new meaningful friendships since moving to this area.[b]  I do work part-time so I am not a bored SAHM[/b].  I find it difficult at this stage in my life to make new girlfriends.  You know, someone to go shopping with or grab lunch.  Is this typical?  I've reached out to other mom's for playdates for our children, hoping that that could start a friendship, but it typically doesn't.  I've invited a few mom's out for dinner, and then the invitation is not reciprocated.  I find myself reaching out but no one reaches back out.  I don't think it is me, as I am a genuinely nice person.  My husband is always telling me that I need to be mean when people do me wrong.

Do other mom's have this experience also?  Especially transplants from other parts of the country?  Any suggestions?[/quote]

maybe you are just a bitch??  [/quote]
