I haven't started for that reason. I've never been around kids or moms (other than my own). [ Reply | More

Exactly. Plus you're meeting these prople for you kid to have friends with. What if we don't like them? Do we still let our kid play w/them? It's more complex than just meeting someone. [ Reply | More

so I am not alone? I guess a lot of people feel this way, it always seems like the "other" women are the comfortable social ones ;) [ Reply | More
