Ok, NYC moms. I know you're out there. Just moved back to NY with a child and have been to the park only to be met with a sea of spaced out nannies. Anyone with their child during the day that would like to go for a walk, coffee, the park? I'm on ues. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

The park near me is mostly nannies, but I wouldn't describe them as spaced out. I have found it hard to make new "mommy friends". I hear it gets easier once dc are in school (nursery or otherwise). [ Reply | More

You're right, it's unfair to say all the nannies are spaced out. I do see some that are very engaged and active with the child. And I have a sitter who is absolutely wonderful. [ Reply | More

Yes, very lonely. And I'm definitely an extrovert, so especially hard. I do have a few friends here, but sometimes hard to coordinate baby schedules, you know? [ Reply | More

believe me i know. with activities, naps and daily life in general it can be tough. i love being home with my children but this is my biggest complaint about this job. i think it is especially hard here in ny because there seem to be more nannies than sahms. [ Reply | More

How about a class at the 92 Y? I've found sahm friends at classes, not at playgrounds. Good luck! I'm way downtown, so we won't meet. But you can find folks. [ Reply | More

Have you tried St. Catherine's Park on 68th & 1st or John Jay on 77th by the East River. Another option is Carl Schurz park - a lot of nannies but also some parents from what I have seen on rare occasions I'm there with my son (only because I'm a dh) and don't get there to often during the week.

Any luck? I've heard of new mom clubs meeting up at certain parks at certain times depending on the age of your child. I'm a new mom on the UES (dc is 1 mth) and I've been having a hard time connecting with other moms. None of my friends have children. I'm thinking of signing up for a couple classes at kidville, but that won't start until the fall. [ Reply | More
