[quote=Anonymous]You may be running into problems because people in the small town may not understand the whole "work from home" full-time thing. They may just think you are a snobby stay at home mom. They don't see you out working at the walmart, right? So, you may want to tell the people you do meet (at church) that you were lucky to keep your full-time job and work from home, etc.. etc... but it is hard to get out.

Take time off or make up time later and take the time out to go to story time and children's activities at the library. That is how you will probably meet other Moms, usually stay at home Mom's though. Sometimes there will be adult bookclubs or children's events on a Sat. but it depends on how active the library is.

If there is a local phone directory, check it out to see if there are local arts organizations or dog rescue groups or Kiwanas club or something. When I lived in a small town in Georgia, there were a lot more "organizations" people joined in order to make new friends or make connections--it may be hard to find out about them, though.

If there is a local or regional paper, no matter how small, subscribe to it. There will be pictures of organizations have charity events, speakers, etc... and you might be able to get some ideas.

Try another church which seems to have more small children, or do more with the church you are going to. Ask the pastor where they need help, if you haven't already done so. It is possible everyone there has their "territory" all mapped out. Maybe even schedule a counseling session with the pastor, explain the situation, and they may have suggestions. [/quote]
