What is the best way to meet new friends? I want to find new Friends that also have kids.?

I am a young mommy, All of my best friends are living the single girl in the city life that I just cant be a part of. My Husband and I are in our mid twenties and want to find people to hang out with that also have kids and can relate to us better. But we haven't been able to meet anyone for a while. We love spending time as a family but it would be nice to meet new people that also share our day to day expieriences.

I don't necessarily have a solution, but I find your question interesting as my husband and I are in the same situation. I am from a very small town where it is hard to meet anyone new. If there's anyone you know of (like an acquaintance, no one you really KNOW) you could start out by suggesting a play date w/ the kids, and see if eventually as adults you could do couple things; going out to eat, movies, bowling; things of that nature. Good luck to you!
Reply:Are there play groups you can join in your area? Bookclubs? My husband and I met some our closest friends at a restaurant. We were in line waiting on a table and decided to join forces with another couple waiting. It was quicker to get a table for four than two each so we decided to make an evening of it.
Reply:Most towns have mommy's clubs. Call your local chamber of commerce. Also, church is a good place.
Reply:Go to the park and see what other parents are there and strike up a conversation. Anyone in the neighborhood with kids you can hang with maybe?
