[quote=Anonymous]OP, how selective are you in seeking out mom friends?  Big gatherings don’t lend themselves well to deepening friendships and you also have to be picky in those with whom you want to be closer.  I say that as someone who makes and keeps friends easily; they have to be mutual for me to put in the work.  You don’t need a ton of friends - it’s a few close ones who make the difference.

FWIW, our annual beach trip was friends was booked almost a year ago (during the last beach trip).  We haven’t made any smaller plans along the lines of what you describe yet because the next seven or so weeks will be filled with summer swim team and time at the pool.  I also wouldn’t expect invitations to those kinds of things yet - there’s usually only a few weeks lead time, if that.

Last but not least, as another PP said, don’t look to parents of your kids friends to make your own friends.  If it happens naturally, great, but cast a wider net.  Do you have old friends you can see, kids aside?  A particular hobby or passion?[/quote]
