Julie Member Registered: 03/18/03 Posts: 332 Loc: Australia	Well yes I am at a different stage but I know that I must make an effort to form relationships with the parents of my little daughter's peer group - she will need extra social connections more than her (much) older brothers who have always been close and had each other for company. I've avoided mother's groups til now. My experience tells me that the school communities are quite "clicky" and unless you are in at the start you can be on the outer forever and I don't want her to miss out. I'm telling myself all this but I don't really want to do it!!! Maybe I could just hire a stand-in??

What about meeting with one friend and mother at a time for her play dates? I wouldn't even be able to remember all of the mother's names in the whole group. Yes, I'm pitiful.

Debi Member Registered: 01/17/05 Posts: 152 Loc: Kansas City Kansas	Julie I'm with Dotsie.A stand in is no way to go. One of the greatest memories is when you look back and remember when. I do that alot now. But then when my kids were in school I was all over the school, as teachers aide scout leader, den mom. I became "that mom" and before i knew it I wasnt shy , scared or nervous about meeting those I thought had more or knew more. Bottom line, we all want whats best for our kids. and I bet once the ice melts you'll find you have more in common with those other moms then you realize. your lil one will one day look back and remember , My mom was there! It's 4:58 a ladies I hope my response was along the same lines.... Julie, you will be great.

mrsmuzz Member Registered: 11/05/03 Posts: 113 Loc: Orange, Texas	Julie, When my hubby and I were first married he sometimes teased and called me "mouse mouth." I would let people walk literally all over me and never put up a fuss. You could basically say or do anything to me and I just hung-in there. However, when I became a mom that all changed. I just put on my Lion "face" for those people and told myself I was doing it for my kids own good. Try to think of yourself as the Mother Lion taking good care of her cubs. You know you would do whatever it takes to make them happy and fulfilled. You can do it!
