Do you belong to a local kid-centric local meet-up type group that fits into your work schedule? why or why not?”

  • I have not found one either. Nothing fits my schedule and all the active groups in this area are Stay at Home moms who meet in the middle of the day.

  • I found a group on yahoo that was great. We post to the board with all sorts of questions and, while it's a large group, only so many are really active. We set up playdates and those who can go do so and those who can't don't feel bad. I've hosted many of these playdates but that's because I'm a glutton for punishment ;). We also post when we're headed to a playground or something along those lines so anyone can join in. It was great for a long time but I've found my key friends through it and don't participate as often anymore. That's also in part due to having not much in common with most of the moms.

  • I haven't really looked, but really need to find something like this. I was part of one in the town that we used to live in (while I was still pregnant) and I really miss having the interaction with the other women!

  • If I could find one that fits into my schedule, I'd love to join something like that. But between work and the kids' activities, there's little time left and no groups that seem to meet during the time that I do have.

  • I don't because I haven't found one. Well, I have heard about ONE that meets to watch movies at a local theater, but I am looking for one where I can TALK to other people!
