[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  No I haven't really made mom friends in the sense that I would invite one out for coffee or lunch and they would accept, or who are interested in getting to know me.  More mom friends in the sense that if I had a question about something I would feel comfortable texting to ask, but we don't meet up without the kids.  I wish I could make mom friends in the class or at the school, but none of them seem interested, and most are all friends with each other.

Yes, my child is an only.  I've noticed that the families with same age kids all hang out together and are family friends, and that unfortunately leaves us with no families to hang out with since my kid is the only only child in the class.[/quote]

This makes sense now.  I used to have an only and then 8 years later had my second.  When I had just one kid, I remember overly fixating on what others were doing outside of school that I was not invited to. Once I had a second, I didn't really pay as much attention or care because my kids, as far apart as they are in age, still had/have each other.  Unfortunately, it's much more motivation for a parent if hanging out with you means BOTH or all three of their kids will be entertained but when you have an only they may think twice about splitting up the kids/family during precious weekend time.[/quote]
