How do you stay social?!

New mom here! On the endless quest to find out how to make meaningful friendships in the area and find ways to spend time with friends as a parent.

How much time per week do you get to be social? What kinds of things do you get into to fill your social meter? And honestly, where have you been able to make meaningful friendships with people other than work?

I feel like I lost a lot of my social ability over the pregnancy and I want to overcome the isolating feelinfs that come with new parenthood.

Hey from Tacoma and honestly idk cuz people go ghost but I get it especially when your busy with the kids and life

You can always message me I’m always up

ain't that the truth

I met some mamas here that became friends. Most went sour or down hill but don’t give up. They are out there

I have a couple too but u gotta be on top of them

hey deanna. Yeah, I know what you mean. They do eventually get back to me if I get quiet after the last message. I don’t really continue to message them after awhile of the silent treatment

I kno right but than sometimes I feel like maybe I should reach back out 😂

I take my littles to the open gym/indoor playground at the community center in the Les Gove complex or to story time at the library.. I am pretty miserable at maintaining friendships because I literally am always with my children.

Add me!!

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Any moms in the DMV area?

Hey! 💕 I want to start a group chat or something so we can all connect.
