[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you live that a park and a preschool are 20 min away? That doesn't sound like the suburbs. [/quote]

OP here.  To clarify, a good park (not a tiny one), and the preschool we happen to have decided on, are 20 minutes away.  I'm sure there were a few preschools that were closer.  There may be some tiny parks that are closer, but in general, we have to drive 15-20 minutes to get to any good kid activities/events, etc.  We are in a suburb outside the Beltway in NoVA (similar to Great Falls).[/quote]

Why cant you just say where you live? Herndon? Ashburn? Leesburg? Manassas?[/quote]

Seriously. If you name your suburb, maybe other posters can suggest activities/places to meet people. You haven't given any identifying information except you have a two year old and are a SAHM.[/quote]

Frankly, I don't think OP really wants to solve her problem. Like some other PPs, I've seen many (many, many) threads by OP on similar themes, and she always has excuses about why this or that won't work.

Joining a pool makes perfect sense, and none of OP's excuses wash. There will be plenty of people still there at 6:00 (people who take their kids after work, for example). It is not too hot to go if you sit in the water with your kid.

I also don't understand why socializing on the weekends, which OP says she does, isn't enough. How many SAHMs actually spend time with friends multiple times a week during the week? I am essentially a SAHM (I work from home part-time), and I can't remember the last time I spent time with a friend on a weekday afternoon. Most of my friends, including mom friends, work.[/quote]
