I am going to ask another question, I hope someone will respond to this one since My other 2 questions had 0 responses, anyway. I took my son to a music and dance thing at our town library today, He was so excited to be there that he was saying hello to everyone and taking the kids hands to play. But it seemed to me that it was a class of all kids who hang on there mothers legs. They would not play with my son! the mothers were not very friendly! My son is a little hyper but he's only 2 and they kept looking at me like I had two heads! How do I find nice moms and playful kids!!!!!
Hi everyone, thanks for all the responses to my problem, unfortunatly we still haven't found any playmates or playgroups. I joined a group called momsmeetups, but alot of there funtions are too far for me! But we are going to keep trying. But if there's anyone who lives in the Seymour area and has toddlers feel free to email me and we can get together! ____@____.com. Thanks again!
Hi T.! I completely feel this way!!! It is VERY rare to find nice moms when we're out! So what if he's a little rambunctious (I'm the worst speller)! My son who is 2 1/2 is the same way and I get the looks too! I think that's the way 2 year olds should be! Happy and cheerful! I am also a stay at home mom so feel free to send me a message if you'd like! I'm feeling you on the whole getting lonely thing too!

Hi T.
I am I. and i'm not a stay at home mom but i hate when parents are like that. It makes me feel weird like i did something when i know its no problem you know!! I am not sure where you are located but stepping stone museum is awesome/ the parents want there children to play with others and they talk to each other freely/ its in norwalk ct i believe, my mom is a nanny and she tells me all about it. plus my mom is puerto rican and has a heavy accent, so if they are nice to her they will be nice and open with you and your kids. Make sure you go out alot, you can get depressed if you start feeling lonely at home with just the kids ok. I get depressed and i work so i can just imagine.
welcome to my world I have 2 kids 1,5 and also feel moms are not friendly in this day and age.My son was very active like your son now at 5 he is better.How about joining a local moms club.Trust me alot people the same way you do keep trying try to find a mom by herself struggling like youdo.K.
Hi T.,
I hear you! I feel that way sometimes too! I've met some nice moms and some snobby moms. Its just like any other interaction...at work, you meet a mix of people, some are nice, some aren't. I definitely don't think your son's behavior was out of line at all! Kids should be allowed to have fun and be silly...nowadays, it seems like everything is so controlled! My daughter is 15 months old and I'd love to find a playgroup for her with nice moms and little ones. If you know of any, let me know :)

I know how you feel...I am also a stay at home mother and find it can be very hard to make friends. We just moved to Milford a month ago so I'm still trying things out. I have not gone yet but I'm going to try a club called "MOMS;" they have 4 chapters in Milford. They seem to do a lot of activities and I'm sure you will meet some nice mothers. Also, you might have heard of a thing called "Music Together" (they may be what you went to.) It is a class for children (0-5) and their parent(s) that focus on interacting with music; it's new in Milford and classes start next week (18th of September.) I hope this helped and I hope you find some other nice moms. Good luck.
I understand exactly how you feel. My daughter is two and she has always been very social with other children. Most children that we have met haven't been as interested in socializing as she is and when we do meet a friendly toddler, the parents don't seem too interested in encouraging the children's interaction. Maybe some parents are shy themselves or maybe they don't see the value in children socializing. In any case, we have also had a hard time making friends.
In the past, I have joined various mom's groups and gone to mom and tot classes without much luck in meeting good friends for myself or my daughter. Recently I joined Mom's Club of Fairfield and went to a playgroup for the first time yesterday. It was a great experience. Finally I think I have met other very friendly moms who want to encourage their children to socialize. Unfortunately, now I think that my daughter has given up on other kids. She has been getting less and less outgoing at the playground over the past few weeks, probably because she has had a few bad experiences. About a week ago, a little boy made a scary face and yelled at her after she went up to say 'hi' to him. It was the first time that she ever came to me and asked to go home from playground. Hopefully she will start to get back to her old self if I can find nice kids for her to play with.
My advice is to keep getting out with your children to socialize and try a few Moms groups. There are other mothers out there who want to make friends for themselves and their children. Let me know if you are in the Fairfield area.
all the best- B.
