Hi GD! I agree with Marcellus, if you don't click with the girls then it makes it awfully hard to stick with it and 13 is a really big group - too big IMO. We started with 17 then it quickly dropped to about 14 and by the time the 5 weeks were up, we were down to 10 or 11. It was too difficult to stay together and we had kind of split without realising so we went our separate wasy - my group has only 5 of us and I love it. It still took a lot of hard work and weekly catchups to get to a more comfortable level with the girls but now I love it. I hang out to catchup with them. It's weird as they don't know me that well as we've been friends for less than a year but on the other hand, they know so much about my DD, my pregnancy, my labour and my life as a mum that I regard them as close friends. It is great having friends with kids of the same age.

Maybe stick it out for a bit longer and see if there is anyone that shares similar interests to you, besides your kids that is. Or if all else fails, meet up with some of the Perth girls at a Belly Belly catch up. I'm about to have a look at the details via the link in Marcellus' signature now
