Hey everyone.
My Mum told me today that I need a hobby. She actually asked me how my tennis was going (I thought it humourous [sp?] as I have never really seriously played in my life!). She said that I need to go out and do something to socialise with other women (as I only really have one girlfriend, so need to expand my circle of friends by just a little bit).
I used to do inline skating (competively), martial arts (was asked to do it competively), photography, and playing with cars. Now I do nothing aside from be Mum.
I just need some ideas on what other women did/do for a hobby after becoming a Mum, maybe what I could take my daughter along to. I could strap on the old skates and push the pram around town for extra weight training, sit her there while I bash up a boxing bag or take a car apart, or take her with me on a drive out for photo ops, but none of these really help me meet anyone new.
I would also love to go back to studying, but I can't take my daughter along, and I think it would be difficult for me to put her in care at the moment. So, maybe that would be quite a way down the track.
Sorry for the long babble on. I would love to hear (well, okay, read) what people have to say.
