I need friends!!!!

[aziz222]

Hi. I'm 34, married and have 2 boys who are 6 and 12. A lot of my friends have moved away in the past year.....and I appear to have no social life left.
I find it hard to meet mums at the school with breakfast and after school clubs.

I spend my days walking my dog, trying to lose weight (badly) and feeling sorry for myself that I no longer have anyone to meet up with for coffee and a moan.

My 12 year old is in a wheelchair, which appears to put people off...... however he is a beast at playing fifa on the xbox and keeps moaning at me that we never meet up with people anymore.
My 6 year old loves the outdoors and going to the park.

I would love to make some new friends xx

I'm also trying to make friends and lose weight so I'm with you there! I'm in a new area with a baby but have had loads of back problems and haven't been able to get to many groups. However! With older boys have you thought about volunteering at cubs or whatever? I have a friend who is a cubs leader and she has met so many people. There should be something there for both your boys as well.

Where are you OP?

Have you tried joining clubs you're interested in? How about joining the gym if you're trying to loose weight as you may meet people there.

Mumsnet does meet ups too I think; search for your local group.

I do sympathise with you as the school thing is tough. The mums in DS's class are nice but the only thing we really have in common is the fact we gave birth in the same year, so not a lot really!

I'm sure someone will be along soon with some good advice.

Have you tried the MUSH app? I've made friends through that when I've just moved to a new area.

I haven't any friends either. . Ds 13,ds 8, dd 11, dd 10+ds nearly 3. Dog owner and start the gym on Monday!! Live at the beach so perfect for dog walks and fab parks!!

Have you thought about using an App like Mush or Peanut? Not sure if those are just for people with younger children though

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Are you on Facebook? Maybe join some 'local groups' to meet other local mums? X
