What should I say?

I looked into joining a mom-to-mom group through a local church. They have different groups that meet twice a month for fellowship and other activities. The one they put me with are moms who all have 2 or more kids, with the youngest at 2. Since I only have Jacob, who's 14 months, I am not into what they are right now, which is soccer, homework, stuff like that. I went out to dinner with a few of them last week and they're really nice gals but I felt so out of place. They're all in a different place than I am and have known eachother for over 5 years. Although I'd like to get to know some other sahm's I just don't feel very comfortable with this particular group. So, I don't know what to say to them to let them know I'm not going to join their group. Any suggestions?

I would just be honest, and say that while you enjoy thier comapany, and look forward to picking thier brain for btdt advise when your child gets a little older, you are going to find a group with kids a little closer in age to yours. I'm sure they would understand. If you were in a group and you all had 2 yr olds, I'm sure you'd understand a woman with a 6 yr old not joining kwim?

Good luck to you!

I agree with Lesley... just be honest & tell them you would like to find someone with a child closer in age to yours.


Does he go to a mothers' day out program? If so you could get together with some of the moms from that.


GL!
