[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you're getting criticized, OP.  I understand completely what you mean.  I live in Silver Spring outside the beltway and I COMPLETELY understand the afternoon conundrum.  I stay off the roads too.  We have two playgrounds within walking distance, which is great, but it is HOT to walk 15 mins to a playground.  Also the same playground every day gets repetitive for both the kid and the parent.  And we don't have the money to join a pool.  I'm thinking of trying the Montgomery County public pools maybe.

I liked the PP who said every mom feels like all the other moms already have mom friends.  I totally feel that way.  I've been home with my 3 year old for a year now and I feel like I somehow missed the boat and that everyone already made friends.  I do try with the other moms from my son's preschool, but it feels awkward to keep inviting people to things, and everyone seems busier than me.  I'm the only one with only one child so they probably ARE all busier than me.

Anyway, just commiseration.  It can be lonely for sure.  I made a list (or rather, I stole a list that someone made on DCUM) of fun summer activities in the DC area and I actually made a calendar of fun things me and my son would do and we are sticking to it.  I planned to potentially go with people, but so far it's just been me and my son.  Regardless, it's better than sitting home!

I don't know - sometimes I just think you get lucky with who you meet and when.  Hopefully both of us will happen upon a great playground and things will just click :)
