[quote=Anonymous]I am only 38, but our situations may be comparable because most people in my social circles began having kids at 21-24, while I did not start until 31. I have found it easiest and most convenient logistically to make friends with moms of same-age kids, regardless of my age difference with the mom. Most of the moms that are my age have elementary to teenage kids and are in a totally different stage of life than me and DH. Also, they're free of all the annoying baby/toddler burdens like diapers or potty training, so I feel like I wind up cramping their style. Our routines just don't mesh conveniently. So even though many of them would probably be great potential friends in 20 years when we are all empty nesters, right now my mom friends are all younger, with only one exception. [/quote]
