[quote=Anonymous]So, you go out by yourself for social activities with other moms three or four times a month.  Honestly, I wouldn't want to go out more than that.  On weeknights, I get home, make dinner, play with kid, do bedtime routine, and then I have about two hours of free time to get things done or hang out with my husband.  On weekends, I like to spend time with my kid.  I'd be much more likely to get together with another family and hang out.  If I get a sitter, it's so my husband and I can have some time together without the kid and maintain our relationship.

But really, it's just hard to make real friends.  I probably have about three real friends in this area, and that feels like a lot to me.  Real friendships take time and effort to build and nurture, and having a lot of them can be too much if you have a lot on your plate.  If I meet someone I really click with, that's one thing, but I'm not in constant search of more friends.  I'd rather invest my energy in the friendships I have and keep them strong.  Also, making friends as an adult is just harder.  The good news is that when your kid starts school, you have a new pool of potential friends that you might hit it off with.  [/quote]
