So, it's 7.30 on a Saturday night, kids are in bed, my husband has been on the iPad pretty much all day and I am bored shitless....I'm 32 years old and just want to do non mummy things like going to the pub or having the girls round. Now there are two problems with this... One, I have no friends and two, I rarely go out, it's so fucking depressing! I'm getting sick to death of being bored, I'm a adult for goodness sake and at the risk of sounding like a teenager, waaaaaaaa!
I find it quite difficult to meet other mums and if I do, I actually get quite nervous, I have nothing to talk about other than my children. My eldest has a disability and either have judgement from the mums of non disabled kids or have judgement from the disabled kids mums, too much competition. Hubby and I do date night when we can (basically once every 6 months) we have no family and a very small amount of people (person) I trust with my children.
My question is how do you meet potential friends when your afraid of meeting people? I don't do mummy groups I've tried it, too much bitchiness for me!

Join special interest groups/hobby groups are a great start.
Same same same!! I dont want a mummy group i want drinks and movies and adult catch ups.
I met one gorgeous woman once who did all this and we did it together even with our kids. Apart from that i have had no luck at all.
Maybe post your town and other IM's might post they're from the same town as you.
But I know exactly what you mean. I could've written this
Where do you live? I have seen it plenty of times that kind people reach out to others on here when they live close. One extra step, and you might find a new friend.... good luck
