to not be arsed to join any more baby/toddler groups?

[oohlalabonbons]

DD is 14 months old. When she was born, I joined all the usual groups, but over time I gravitated towards people that I got on with, and we started to meet at more convenient times/places for us. Only trouble is, they have all gone back to work full time, and I'm only working 2 days a week...so am feeling a bit isolated all over again .
I know I should just get a grip and join more groups and meet new people, but my heart just sinks at the thought of having to start all over again with the small talk, the awkwardness, the search for people 'like me' I'll be able to get on with, just because our children are the same age...
So...AIBU?

No, YANBU, they are completely dull and I doubt I will start going again with the excuse of this next baby. I don't feel isolated though, I love time at home with DD!

YANBU - why on earth would you want to spend time with people unless you actually like them, and get along with them?

YANBU I hate them. I go just do ds has somewhere to run around as I live in a small flat with no garden. We go to the park in the summer. On our own!

Don't go i made the mistake of wasting my one day off a week with one for a long time. DS had the right idea he kept trying to escape! Individually all the women were lovely but then I stupidly volunteered to be the leader so seemed to spend all my time in the kitchen making tea and trying to stop DS escaping and no time chatting at all but then tbh I found chatting really hard couldn't concetrate too many children and I prefer meeting a small number of people not great with big groups. Why not put out a thread on Mumsnet local and meet people that way.

The point is that I feel isolated again like I did when I had DD - none of my real friends with children live locally.
Thanks for the mumsnet local idea Rookiemater, maybe I'll try that...? It did cross my mind to try to start/lead one, but maybe that's not the best option!

Organise evening meet-ups with your existing friends. Me and the other mums usually do this at a person's house and rotate. Stops you feeling isolated and without having to go to the boring groups!

soft play - you can chat to who ever you want or keep yourself to yourself.

I adore my toddler group but then lots of my friends happen to attend -it's just one big social.
