We did it! We finally made a meet up. I've been trying to make one for a while now, but we finally made. I think subconsciously I might have been avoiding it because I wasn't ready for the whole meeting new people thing. Meeting and making friends is very similar to dating which means the hard part is always the beginning…
Our first event was story time, as I mentioned we tried this before, and it was filled with mostly babysitters and nannies. And honestly there was an air of pretentiousness that I could have done without. You see living in NY is terribly expensive (for no reason in my opinion), so we chose to stay in areas that give us more band for our buck. This means I usually have to travel outside of our area to get involved in programs. And at times when I say where we are from, I can feel (or maybe I just think I can feel) the judgement, and this adds another layer. Anywho back to story time. It was really nice. So many little ones Josi's age. And the mommies were very down to earth, it was a very nice experience. I was pleasantly surprised.
So how did I find this story time? First, I joined a fb group of my surrounding areas. Then I posed the question about finding activities for new SAHM with little ones. And the suggestions flooded in…Most lead to other fb groups, some even had side meet up groups. I love social media. So now I maybe too much to do, lol. But it's a problem I don't mind having.
