This is way easier said than done. My town is full of exclusive mom cliques and I a very much alone without mom friends or a “tribe.” I try to be friendy but the moms are cold and cliquey. Couple that with my oldest having high functioning autism and having no social life or friends himself it is heartbreaking. It sucks quite honestly. I always had groups of friends in grade school, high school, college, my 20s and then I become a mom and I feel completely isolated and alone. I have my husband but I really miss having a social life and being included and invited out.

In reply to Ashley Brennan. It can feel so lonely... but you're definitely not alone. Good luck on finding your tribe!

This really helped me feel optimistic about finding my mom tribe! I didn’t realize just how many moms were in the same boat. Thanks for this article!

Wow, why can’t new moms be friends with single or childfree women? Articles like this pit women against each other. I will always be grateful to my stay-at-home mom who maintained close friendships with single, childfree women. My “aunties” are some of the most inspiring and generous women I know.

In reply to Lena Thomson. Lena! Thank you for your sweet words. It can be so hard to force our introverted selves to get out there and meet new mom friends. But it is so worth the effort because mom friends can make or break our experiences! Good luck finding your tribe!

As an introverted expat who has moved countries with babies/toddlers twice in four years, I can completely relate to this. Currently working on finding tribe number three, and this post was so helpful and uplifting. I especially related to your points about compatibility with other moms and being an includer. Hearing that it’s also taken time for other parents makes me feel better about this phase. Hugs everyone XX

In reply to Jp. Julia I'm so sorry. That's so disappointing. Keep searching for your tribe. They're out there. It took us a long time to find our tribe too.

My husband and I thought we were building friendships. Then our 6 year old daughter’s friend said that her parents were going to invite us to their party but didn’t like spending time with us. I didn’t know what to say. I thought we were friends. I know their child is only 6, but the family does distance themselves from us. We’re still trying to find our tribe. It’s so hard. I sometimes think I’ll just hang with others who haven’t found their niche yet either.
