I've been a stay at home mom for over 5 years now. I have two kids 11 months a part (which makes it really hard to socialize with other parents by the way) and I've moved twice to cities that are pretty far from each other. In other words; I've made mommy friends, but I've also lost them through moves and either them or me getting too busy. It happen, right?So we just moved to this really nice neighborhood but we moved here in November and snow... snow happening, Canadian snow, meaning snow everywhere. We'd go play in the snow, but we wouldn't go for walks or what not. Now, the snow is melting and it's GAME ON.I'm pretty much on a mission to a) find a decent park that we can walk to b) find parents that also stay at home so that I can socialize. So I've been spending as much time as possible outside with my kiddo but on top of that, my husband has also been on the hunt for parents with children outside. If he sees one, he'll usually let me know so that we can coordinate and that I can head that way or something. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be that many kids around, UNTIL....My husband was outside when he heard someone speak Spanish. That's super unusual because people here manly speak French, but I speak Spanish and Portuguese and my husband thought it was interesting. He also noticed that she had two young kids with her. Since I wasn't home, there wasn't much he could do but he did text me to give me this precious information.The next day, I was upstairs and looking at the window when I saw them pass. It was around 11 am and her kids look the same age as mine. I told my husband about it and it kind of became our "let's find this mom" hunt, because we could really be friends...Only then did I call my husband and told him "you know, I feel like a teenage girl who is interested by a boy. I'm trying to find his schedule, what he likes, what he does, what's his favorite color and what park he hangs around in. This is creepy."Yup, that's how adult conversation deprived I am. I'm getting to the point where I NEED to find parent friends... It's like finding a unicorn. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2oz1ohX
