In reply to Nicole Black. I am so lonely, it’s incredibly painful. I have no friends and I’m a parent to a 16, 11, and 4 year old. I often wonder what is wrong with me. I live in a secluded area, so no neighborhood friends to go looking for. At one point I had a friend group but some didn’t have kids and others kids were grown. I eventually became the odd one out. I feel like I’ll never find friends again.

How do you get real friends though? I feel like a fraud. I’m not very outgoing and tend to ramble. If I force myself out of my comfort zone to talk to people, I come off was bubbly and fun. As time goes by, I’m pretty reserved, complain about my husband a lot and I don’t have any friends.

In reply to Alex.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this. I’ve seen a few moms use Covid to blame in facebook groups and it doesn’t come off as desperate at all…(we’re all struggling to connect right now!!) You could do a: “Because of covid, we haven’t been able to attend any mommy and me classes with my new baby and I’m looking to connect with other moms for coffee outside just to get out of the house for a hot minute and connect with people other than those I’m related to. Especially looking for older mamas :)” That might weed out the brand new, younger moms who you’ll have less in common with.

I am a mum to a 14 year old and recently had a baby who is 5 months. Something I’ve wanted for. Long time, the only thing is being 41 I’m older than most mums with babies. I try to reach out to neighbors to go for walks but that’s maybe once every two weeks. I feel like I’m the mum No one ever thinks asking to do anything. I thought I had a mum tribe two mums I went on girls trips with etc. once I had my baby I’ve seen them both once they want nothing to do with me. I truly want to enjoy being with my new baby but the friends thing is getting me down sooo much. I’ve also. I idea how to make new mum friends as I don’t want to put in a Facebook group as it’s embarrassing like I’m desperate and lonely.

In reply to Holly. I'm sure you can. It's extra hard these days with quarantine and social distancing but it will get easier!

Thank you for this post! Gives me some hope. My daughter is 2 and I’ve had super lonely days but luckily I have family who have children the same age and I met one mother that I really connected with however I will be making the move to another town! I hope I can make a mummy tribe or at least one or two good mum friends(I only have a small group of friends as I’m quite introverted anyway). I’m a bit worried but hopefully I can manifest it how you did!

In reply to Christine. I'm so sorry. I hear you. This quarantine is brutal. I just reached out in a local moms group asking for a friend for social distanced meet ups for my teen who hasn't been able to meet any new friends in our new town. I know other moms do this too searching for new mom friends. People are craving connection now more than ever. Get outside if you can on walks and chat with neighbors from a distance. Best of luck.

Thoughts on how to do this during the coronavirus pandemic? First kid, under 2, it’s been brutal.
