Difficulty meeting other Moms

Hi again!
Sorry for hogging the board today, I promise to make this short and sweet! ;)
I took my daughter to a playgroup yesterday, its called mygym kinda like a gymboree.
It was our first time there and the staff were great and the class was cute and they had more to offer compared to gymboree.
The problem is I cant seem to meet other Moms! I try and make small talk, but it seems like noone is really interested. My daughter is beautiful and very outgoing and I feel hurt because I feel like she ends up missing out.
I just get the feeling that the other Moms are snooty and as though everyone is sizing each other up!
I am 32 years old but I feel like Im in high school again and like I am trying to fit in.
I DO have friends but they are all not married, no kids.
Advice, opinions please?

THANK YOU!

I there- sounds like my story!

I was lurking, I think it was on this board, and this question came up before. Someone suggested Meetup.com and that has been my saving grace. Luckily there was a group in my area and they are all in the same boat- trying to make friends and find moms with kids around their little one's age. Check it out.

Good luck.
