Making mom friends is like dating and I hate IT! Met a nice mom in Gymboree, we had a good conversation and our kids liked each other. I asked her if she wants to set up a playdate and she brushed me off. So frustrating.... [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

BTDT. I made a fool of myself a few times -- didn't realize I was getting brushed off at first! (Too long out of the dating scene, I guess!) [ Reply | More

np: or maybe just not into op. I'm seriously picky about who I give my number to. I'm quality over quantity & not interested in having idle chit-chat every day with people who will likely move out of the city in a year anyway. Flame away. [ Reply | More

why? np: maybe she isn't in to play dates and is honest about it. That isn't rude. It would be rude to TAKE the number and then not return calls. [ Reply | More

some people get really uncomfortable with the whole giving out their number to strangers thing. truth be told, i'm pretty open to making new friends, but every time I've exchanged #s with a mom I meet through a class or at the park etc. I've never called and it's not bc I'm blowing her off, but in the end, there really wasn't the time for me (I was WOH 4 days) to make new friends. So maybe she's being honest. [ Reply | More

it's horrible everywhere i think; just don't worry about it - i think there are many other factors that play into friendships (other than yes, some moms are juts snobs) - but just lack of time, lack of sleep, schedule...it's really hard to work in new friends imo [ Reply | More

I thought it was fun. With #1 when I was SAHM I made a ton of new friends which I all met at venues like the Y or the playground. Maybe the neighborhood plays a role in there? I was in the East Village then (that was 5 years ago) and everybody I met was open to hang out again. Then we moved to Queens and I went to work FT. I realized, though, that now that I am SAHM again with 3 kids it is harder to make friends. [ Reply | More

I second that! I hate bitchy moms. When I was in Boston I met a woman and we were both ex-new yorkers (now I'm back), and went out about a dozen times. Then I posted in the moms group to see if someone wanted to take walks with me (while she was away for a while) and she never called me again. Never emailed me back. Even after I reached out a few times. Talk about a bitch... [ Reply | More
