Making new friends - Real Mum story on MoM

18 Comments

I alway struggled at making new friends… I guess I am just shy in many ways. Over the years friends have come and gone and people have moved on. My friends are overseas and interstate. After having Little Miss I felt alone a lot. Long quiet periods, early hours of the morning. Then I found MoM and there were stories to read, other people struggling through the same maze of life. I could ask questions and there was a real group of people to answer. Honest, truthful people. Over time this community feels like friends – and that really is something special. Thank you to everyone who contributes

it is great to have a place where others have things in common with you, making friends has never been easy for me, I have a lot of social fears

I love that everyone on here is so helpful, happy to share recipes, hints and advice, and is so friendly. This page has saved my sanity while I’ve been stuck at home with medical problems.

It is a lot more difficult trying to find friends once you get older and have kids. This community is a great place to find some contacts.

I have also moved to a new place last year but thank god my neighbors are all friendly. I usually bake or bring food over to start up a conversation or just say hi! Really works!

I’m pretty much the same and feel exactly the same way. I’m going through a terrible custody battle as well and I’m single and work full time, so at times this sure really does feel like my outlet and I love the time I spend on here and the connection to the world.

Hi and pleased to meet you Kathryn, you may see me around MoMs, I’m the one who has a lot to say… most of the time. I agree with you, MoMs is a nice place to be, I like being here too. Have a great week.

I know how you feel. After living in the same area for nearly twenty years, I manage to have one true friend. All my friends are from interstate too. How I wish Mouth of Mum’s had been available during those early years of my children growing up. Anyway, you’ve got a friend from this lot, even if we don’t see each other. Take care.
