meeting other local mums - is this weird / stalkerish?

[~TT40~]

why not? what do you have to loose?
maybe sus out if there isn't already one going on??

and I don't know (not having kids myself) but wouldn't 330pm maybe clash with picking kids up from school?

but seriously go for it!!

Great idea!

Thanks all. A walk down to a park a bit further away is a great idea. That way any toddlers (like mine!) can have a run around and go from there.

I'm not sure this is really for people with school aged kids? More those with younger than school age. Anyway, if 3.30 turns out to be a crap time I can change it.

I'm sure I'll need help drafting the note so I'll be back!

I think its a great Idea!!
I too think the time may be a bit tricky for mums who have small children and school age children ( I do )
I would love it if I got something like this in my letterbox

Give you local council a call as ours had a group that walked around our local lake. Not sure if it still happens

I think its a fantastic idea and I would definitely join in if I got your flyer (bit far for me to walk though I think!) I'm really shy at meeting new people so it would be a really easy, non-confrontational way of doing it.

I do agree with Teirae's point about the time though. I'm about to have a newborn, but also have a 4 and 5 year old so the 3.30 pm would be awful for me. It would also mean if you were going to the park that even if you didn't have mums with older kids, you're going to have to deal with the older kids in the park because school will be out. Not saying they'll be a hassle, just that I always found it far easier when they were smaller for my kids to play when there weren't bigger kids on the playground that play rougher games as big kids do. Once I've had this bub I'm hoping my day will be something like drop the girls at school, come home, get the dog, baby and pram organised and be out walking by 9.30 am.

Great idea!!!! I would be up for it, but on the other side of the bay!!! A good time for me after school drop-off, etc, etc would be 9.30 am / 10 am... Good luck, hope you meet some lovely new Mummies.

Going to the local park would be a great idea

330 would clash with the school pick up but if said mums were to take their schoolies and run them around for a while that may work well, otherwise probably 9-930 am is better for mums with schoolies

Good on you for thinking about something like this
