[quote=Anonymous]OP: I get that when you have your children in your late 20s/early 30s, most of your old friends are single or married without children, and you are looking for mom friends. Totally get that - I'm in my early 40s and still don't really have any mom friends (I'm friendly with other moms, but only because I see them at school events for my older child, and birthday parties for my younger child). One thing that I try to remember is that the playdates aren't about me or creating friendships for myself, they are about nurturing my child's friendships. So even if I don't care for a mom (she's snobby, she doesn't seem to like me, I don't think we'll have anything in common), I still do the playdate because I want my child to be happy and have good friends. I think we would both be doing our children a great disservice by turning down playdates because the mom isn't someone we care for or want to be friends with. [/quote]
