Lonely/no friend mamas - Page 7

no men dont get it at all!

[Jilian]

I'm way down here in SW FL. It's mainstream parenting land here. Either that or all the AP mamas are hiding from me. Maybe they just don't have computers.

Wait, maybe it's me

they do not understand the womans need to bond with another woman. Especially when your a mom.
I wont speak for anyone but I want that mom to mom bond. its almost to me as if its needed...
I have lost touch with all my "hippie" friends. they are all traveling the US.
hope they are well..

:LOL

Kweb and 3 Little Monkeys,
Thanks for responding. Kweb, we'll have to get together sometime. Maybe on a Tuesday. I love and miss the hustle and bustle of counties like Bergen and Essex (where I'm from). I'm semi-crunchie, if I understand the term correctly (holistic), but am just open minded and don't like the fact that I'm automatically labeled a freak for choosing to be careful about certain things. But women can be catty.
And 3 little Monkeys, I know the feeling and just want to say that I'm here for you if you need to talk. You could PM me if you'd like. I feel like you do even though I only have one, but still have lots to do and find that I need that connection with others just to bounce conversations around (a little cerebral, a little girly stuff, etc) and maybe that's because I don't have brothers and sisters. But I'm here if you want to talk.
Thanks again for responding. I'm not used to it. It's a nice feeling to be noticed for the things you say/feel.
Take care of yourselves.

Should we post a little "get to know you" type stuff? Strengthen our little tribe and get the conversation flowing? I'm not very good at asking questions or introducing myself, but I'll start:

My name is Sherri, I'm a WAHMommy to 3 girls ages 10 (will be 11 in 3 weeks) 4 1/2 and 22 mo. I'm pregnant and due mid February - don't know what we are having, don't know yet if I'm going to find out. We've got 2 dogs, had 3 but one passed away this past Sunday, and we just inherited a kitten - or she inherited us anyway.

I love to read, but have no time for it with the girls - not to mention they won't let me read unless they are asleep, which means I don't get to read much at all. I love scrapbooking - but I'm suddenly miss popularity when I attempt to do that and I just can't do it with little ones getting into everything so I'm over 5 yrs behind :LOL

Guess I'm not very exciting :LOL So who's next?

[MomBirthmomStepmom]

I'm game! Nice to meet you Sherri!!

My name's Jenni, I'm 23 years old. I have a little girly who's 4 1/2, and help to raise SO's son (whom he has custody of), who is 9 1/2. We're not married, but plan on it in the future... When? Who knows...lol We're just happy building our family together.

I'm birthmother to a beautiful little girl, who is 19 months old, and lives 3000 miles away from me.

I'm divorced from a horribly abusive man (dd's biodad), and we made the move from NJ to CA in Oct of 2004. He wants to terminate parental rights, which is perfectly fine by us, as DD considers SO her daddy, and he wants to adopt her.

Am I a soap-opera yet? lol

I have a job for 10 hours per week on the weekends, but am a SAHM otherwise. We have 2 hamsters who are my babies until we feel ready to have a child together

I *love* music, and am addicted to the TV show 'Lost'. I can be found most days hanging out on the Television forum...lol 'Lost', 'Big Brother', 'Amazing Race', 'CSI'...lol I'm kind of a boring person, I think...

Who's next?

[Sustainer]

I'm Alice and I'm a 30 year old SAHM. I have two children. My daughter is 4 1/2 years old and my son is 19 months old. My partner and I are not legally married and we don't ever want to be. Today is my partner's 30th birthday.

My obsession right now is cloth diapers and I can usually be found hanging around the diapering board.

[MomBirthmomStepmom]

WOW! Us last 3 all have 4 1/2 year olds...hehe

[kay4]

I so belong in this tribe I have lived here for over 2 years and hve no IRL friends. I have longtime friends in other states that I talk to a few times a week on the phone, but it would be so nice to have a like-minded mama to hang out with in my own town. I am Kelly, 29 yo and a military spouse. I have 4 dc (G-10, G-7, B-4, G-1) and 1 dss (17) I am going to my first LLL meeting next month and am hoping to connect with someone there

[Jilian]

Nice to "meet" all of you!

My name is Jilian, I'm 26 and have one DS who is 2.5 yrs. I have been seperated for a little over a year. Last year most of family (including DS's dad) moved from Boston to SW FL. I left a great supportive AP group of friends back in Boston

I work about 28 hrs a week from home (here comes the part most people find strange) I work for DS's dad (my ex husband). We are still friends, we just didn't work well as a married couple. DS goes to daycare 3 days a week for 6 hrs each day. It gives me time to get work done (that I can't do w/him around) and it gives him some interaction with other children his age.

We just had a house built and moved into it last month. We just adopted two cats from our local shelter too I am a labor doula and an aspiring midwife. I hope to start midwifery school within the next 6 mos or so.

I think thats enough about me

[kewb]

Hi, I'm Kathy. As for age-lets just say I am closer to 40 then 30. I am a WOHM to my not so little Munchkins. Blake is 7 and Mikaela is 5. DH (Andrew) and I will be married 13 years this December. We live in New Jersey and I am originally from Long Island. We also have 2 fur babies or cats-Samantha Catz & Tasha Yar.

Mjash4- I would love to meet during the week, but it would only be for my lunch hour. If you can hold out until November I will be off from work on the 10th & 11th.

[3 Little Monkeys]

So nice to meet everyone!

: to your SO! I hang out in diapering quite a bit - my youngest is potty trained already, but I'm planning a stash for the new baby - it's so addicting!!

Hi Christine! I've never watched Lost (was never able to sit down to watch it last season - the kids always seemed to act up) but I am a die hard survivor and CSI fan! Thursday's are my "leave me alone I'm watching tv" nights - I just wish the kids would abide by that :LOL

Hi Jillian! I think it's great that you and your ds's dad are still friends! It makes it so much easier on the kids involved. My parents were horrible to eachother for so long after they divorced, it was so difficult for me and my brother - theya re great friends now, but I wish they would have been friendly when we were growing up.
