[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised you can get anyone to agree to anything in the afternoon.  Kids this age nap.  Why isn't your kid napping?

And I wouldn't wake up a baby for a play date.[/quote]

My kid naps 12:30-3:00, which leaves plenty of time for an afternoon outing. [/quote]

Ok.  Kids that age typically start napping anywhere from 12:30-2 and sleep anywhere from 3-5.  By later in the day, you're getting into getting ready for dinner, older kids' activities, etc.

You're asking why people are flaky and it's probably because afternoons with a baby can just be tough.[/quote]

I'm not asking why people are flaky - I get it, and I'm not taking it personally. I'm just wondering how other moms who don't have mornings free handle this. Like, am I just doomed to loneliness because I have a job? Or is there some way to not be lonely without having regular get-togethers with friends, since it seems logistically impossible :? [/quote]

OP, I read your post above and this last briefer one and I can't stop thinking that you are being all about you. I don't mean to be harsh but your posts at least come across as [b]your [/b]being lonely, [b]your [/b]wanting to hang out, [b]your [/b]desire to see, well, anyone  ... 
I appreciate that you are being honest in wanting to fulfill a need that you have but maybe other moms are sensing that as well and do not want to be a person who checks a box for you? I know I wouldn't. I have limited time and with that time I desire to nurture genuine relationships. I do not want to spend time with a person to whom I am interchangeable in their quest to not be alone.[/quote]
