Frowner I am a mom of one. He will be one on the 24th of May. And I feel alone. I don't know anyone in Lakeland. No friends or family here. So I am always alone and bored. I have tried to meet new friends and mom. But in reality, it is easier to make friends as kids than as adults. You more picky and careful. I also realize that most of the moms on here is married, so they have their husband to turn to. I am a single mom. My fam lives in Orlando and around the world. So I have no one close by.
I sign up with polk moms to meet new friends and moms. I hope it works. I am tired of being bored. And my son would love a playmate. When I take him out and he see other kids he turns away, because he is not use to them at all. He is shy to playing with kids.
I am from the island so most of my friends and family are there. So I hope to meet new people soon.
Bye Confused

Hello!

My son usually doesn't have anyone to play with on the weekends and he is going to be two in June. Maybe we can meet at a park in Lakeland and see how they and we hit it off? Smiler

Hi...I am the mother of an 18 month old girl..we too are alone most of the day. We stay active with the pool and the park, but I would still love for her to have more interaction with other children. It would be great to get together at a park so our kids can play...email me kepotts11@yahoo.com thanks

Thank you all for the replies and care. Yes we need to meet up at the park or the mall..where ever is kids/baby friendly. Please lets do sometrhing. Like the weekends or whatever works. KEPOTTS11..nice u have a pool, I would love for my baby to learn how to swim because I can't. (even though I am from an island). So moms lets arange something. Someone can be incharge of the meet. I am no leader, but I am cool with following others leads.

Yea Shawn! Thanks in advance for arranging another meet up! Welcome to all of you that are new to Polk Moms! Be sure to keep reading Shawn's post about the next meet up. I'm looking forward to meeting and making new friends.

Just an FYI for the moms new to the site that want to meet others, there is a post/discussion on here somewhere about playgroups. That's always a good thing, too! I have 2 daughters, one is in school (she's 7) and the other will be 3 on Sunday. I am a SAHM also. I take my daughter to a playgroup at our church. Also, I recently joined Polkplaygroup.com. Most of my friends are working moms, and although I tend to be a "homebody", I realize my daughter is at an age that she needs some interaction with kids her age! So, if someone arranges another playdate or if someone wants to get together, let me know! Welcome again and I hope you find this website helpful! Smiler

i know how u feel im a young mother of 6 im not married but i have a fiance that i have been with for 5 years and we moved out here about 4 years ago and i had no family out here but he had child hood friends that he grew up with out here and that just left me with me him and the kids for a while it was hard for me to make friends since i had to start all over again with meeting people and thats really hard to do when u have as many babies that i have it was hard at first but when i started to go back to work and became more independent i started to meet some people that i seem to like and that has some kids and that i could talk to about some things so so or later it will work out for u alone mom

You are NOT alone! I posted this on another thread, but wanted to here also and to let you know this has been a wonderful experience for me thus far.


Even having lived here for as long as we have (my husband went through school here and we moved back the year after he graduated from pharmacy school at UF in '97), we still have few friends who are local.

It is difficult I think especially if it's a mother who isn't working and getting to meet other people through work or a family with many children who has much to do following work. I can relate to feeling like I am going it alone.

I also homeschool, so I am with ours 24/7 (no sitters or family help) and while I am not complaining, wouldn't change a thing, and realize our choices and privileges, I'd like to be able to pick up the phone and call a local friend to chat once in a while or meet up last minute someplace.

So, my hope and prayer is that Polk Moms will bring me to some special women who can join me on this path of motherhood with all its glory, love, and woes! lol Smiler

I am proud to see everyone who has responded and reached out to 01mom! Thank you! I wonder though, 01mom, with your son still little, maybe your hormones are still adjusting themselves and you are feeling bluesy from that? Just know you are not alone! Babygirl posted her email and you can ALWAYS PM anyone here. Take advantage of the meet ups and I do look forward to meeting you soon!

I pray/hope you and your little guy have a very happy 1st Birthday 01mom. Smiler

I would love to get together sometime, although, my kids are older, I'm sure it would still be fun. I know you have many offers now Smiler but if you would like to meet up, then please feel free to pm me, whenever you find it would be most convenient, I'll be here.
