[quote=Anonymous]I'm a 43 year old mom in DC. I have a hard time trying to make mom friends at my DC's school. I volunteer a lot, so have made friends that way. I am a joiner and a person everyone else thinks is "popular" but I spend most of my time alone or with my kids or my friends from my 20s who are mainly single or partnered long term with no kids. I have found the best way to make friends is to do an activity you enjoy. I am in a running group and I met several women that way. There is an organization that I enjoy volunteering where I met the majority of my friends. I like to play tennis and have a few friends from that and preschool moms friends from our preschool. I just don't fit in with the moms in my neighborhood. I am super preppy and people assume I am conservative (I am not). My husband is a bit intimidating and doesn't have a big group of friends. I am someone everyone knows of but really doesn't know. Often at parties I stand alone watching my kids, try to join coversations but pickup on social cues and back off. It is hard. I met a lot of friends in Junior League in my 20s that are still friends to this day and my sorority alumni group.[/quote]
