Why does it seem everything revolves...

Man!
Why does it seem like everything revolves around infants, toddlers, and preschoolers? This is SO dang frustrating! I'm a SAHM of 4 kids. My older 2 live w/my ex, so it's just the younger 2 girls at home. They're 5 1/2 and 8, and there are so many groups/msg boards out there for 0-4 yrs of age, but once you hit 5, forget it! I'm not going to school, and I don't work, so it's VERY hard to meet ppl. I'm actively involved in my dd's girl scouts, but most of the moms you only see when they drop off/pick up their kids. I don't know any of my neighbors. I've lived here for almost a yr now. Most of my neighbors speak Spanish, so we can't understand each other, anyways!
I've tried joining sites to meet ppl, but it's mostly for singles and dating. Which isn't what I'm looking for, since I'm happily married, and if I put that I'm a woman looking for a woman, they think I'm gay! GRRR!!! There's GOTTA be some way to meet ppl nowadays!
Anyone have any ideas????

I'm sick and tired of being so dang lonely and BORED all the time! I never get out. maybe once a year, w/my dh. And I've had a few "new" friends we've tried to make ask us to go out like dozens of times, but like I said, we don't know anyone, and so we don't have a babysitter, so we can never even go out if we wanted to!

Hi there ans welcome,, I am a mom to 3 girls ages 12, 5, and 3!!

I am not sure what city you are in, but you could check out the website www.sahm.meetup.com. This is a website for SAHM to meet other people in their area. There is one day every month that you get together - the location is voted on during the weeks prior. The only downside is if you live in a small area, chances are your meetings won't happen. I think you have to have 5 people vote on being there....
Hope this helps!

Mom to 5 yr old girl and 2 yr old twinadoes!
I have a 5 year old and then a 6 month old and I find it hard to do much of anyhting with him.
Have you tried matchingmoms.org? or MOMSclub.com? Yahoo also has groups for local areas a well as on IVIllage....
Good luck.
clubmom is totally dead. Completely. I'll ck out momsclub, thanks!
I can't afford to put them in the sports or YMCA, as our income in VERY limited, and trying to raise 4 kids on 1 small income doesn't quite cut it. LOL! You've got to cut unnecessary stuff.
We don't go to church. We believe in evolution. Unfortunately, THEY don't have a place to get together every week! LMAO! Otherwise, yeah, I'd prob. try to go, just to be social. I'm so desperate that I've even tried researching the Adopt a Grandparent program online to see if maybe I could get hooked up w/a cpl of older neighbors or someone w/in 10 mins from my home. Heck, they'd be happy just going to the park, sitting on a bench, and reading! Or we can sew together or something.
I'm just tired of being cooped up.
sniff, sniff!
I'm lonely! Boo hoo!
