[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see the big deal in driving 15 minutes. Even if you live in the city, you typically have to walk 10-15 minutes to get to the park or whatever.

Joining a pool is a great idea. Also if you are out every morning there is nothing wrong with hanging at home after nap. I have a 2 year old too and it's hard to meet moms. I think it will be easier as they get older though [/quote]

depends on where you live.  OP I feel you. We will probably move to the burbs when our DD starts K or 1st grade. We haven't moved yet becuase I don't want to have to drive everywhere (I also want free preschool in dc). when I was on maternity leave I really believe being able to get out and walk to so much and just see life happenng around all me (not all of it great, this is the City), kept me sane. I really think I would have sunk into serious postpartum depression otherwise. Maternity leave was hard on me but some days just walking a block and seeing so many people out etc just helped a lot.  I also hated, hated hated drving my infant anywhere as she would always cry in the car and scare me as a first time mom.  
Do you have a neighborhood listserve where you can take the lead on inviting other new parents to meet up?  You might be surprised how many other SAHP are feeling the same way.  Even something as casual as a pizza play date at your house. [/quote]
