ours has been going for coming up for a year.... there are about 7 of us... i like it, but we only go to each others houses, nothing else yet besides a cry baby session at the movies when the babies were younger... some of them go swimming.... it still feels like a mothers group, i was hoping it would become less like that and more friendly, but perhaps as it is a big group its harder maybe, im not sure... i still enjoy it though, although i do find it stressful with 7 kids in one room!!
