[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is making my heart hurt because I relate to it so much.  I wasn't expecting parenthood to be so lonely.[/quote]

DP and can relate - you aren't alone. My best friends either don't have kids (child free by choice) or don't live anywhere near me. We talk on the phone and text daily but it's just not the same as what I imagine having local mom friends must be like.

In some ways I'm similar to OP - I'm a voracious reader, passionate about my career, interested in world news and politics as well as pop culture, and a bit of a nerd. OP at least seems extroverted enough to approach people. I have a very hard time with this, and whenever I manage to force myself to, I stutter and my mind goes blank. I come off SO terribly awkward. It's not just in my head - I have lived in my neighborhood for 4 years, there are many young moms around, and not a single one is even at acquaintance level. [/quote]

Same. Same. Our neighborhood FB Buy Nothing and Families groups have had posts about social events once everyone is vaccinated. I'm hoping to meet some more like-minded nearby parents that way. [/quote]
