Making New-Mom Friends
For the first year of my daughter's life I was far too busy taking care of her to think about making new friends. But after Samantha's first birthday, I found myself enviously watching women who pushed strollers in tandem down the streets. I felt like I was single again and looking, in this case, for a girlfriend. Here's how it went.
The first time I run into Marilyn it's because I'm racing down the street to claim a shoe that Samantha threw out of her stroller. We exchange a weary, we've-all-been-there glance and I head on my way. A week later we see each other at the park. This time, we chat. It turns out she and her husband have an apartment around the corner from us. We exchange numbers and I walk home with an extra spring in my step.

Fine enough story but it didn't offer tips or help with making new mom friends, which is why I came here to read the article!
11/18/2011 08:32:28 AM Report Abuseafter being directed from an email announcing tips for making mom friends, i end up clicking endlessly through an article on how current relationships may change when you have a baby, which was of no interest to me. at the end of that string, i see a link that somewhat resembles the making friends subject and get this, which offered no tips what-so-ever. needless to say, i found this to be useless and a waste of time trying to find what i was actually seeking.
