[quote=Anonymous]1.  Many faith based organizations have parents night out.
You drop kid off and get free child care for 3 hours.
You don't have to be a member.  The last two faith
based organizations I belonged to had "parents night out."
Every 2 weeks there was a night you could drop kid off
for free and you and husband go out on a date.

2.  Check out Mom's groups at faith based organizations.
Kid gets free child care.  You meet some new people.
You don't even have to show up for services.

3.  Neighbors.  Have a pot luck at your place to meet neighbors or grill out and have a pot luck.

4.  Seniors--some of my best friends have been ladies
30-40 years older than me.  They raised 5 children.
Very, very treasured friends and a great resource
and we had lots of laughs over the years.  There
is a lot of loneliness in the senior community. Believe
me a senior lady neighbor who has raised 4 kids
would be honored to be asked to watch your kid
for an hour if you had to run out for an emergency.

5.  Like a prior poster said...don't be overly picky.
You need people in your life.  I have friends that
are different ages, races, and different socio economic
backgrounds from me.[/quote]
