Single Mums Playgroup...or just an IRL group in general
Is there one here in Melbourne?
I'm closely getting to the point where I can socialise again after Seth's birth and although I'm so looking forward to meeting the people in my Mummy Group, it dawned on me earlier today that everyone I know has a partner. There are things I want to ask and men I want to bash (I'm JOKING...kinda) and feel I can probably only do it with those in the same boat.
Is there a group like this anywhere -either formally set up or informally?
Thanks,
Shari xo

So off-topic but I just started to bawl after reading your signature. I want to literally tattoo that on my arm. Instead I'll settle for memorising it and thinking of you each time I need to summon those words.
God, I feel I just had a significant life experience, all from posting a thread you didn't even give me an answer to lol.
Aww shari we cant have u crying you'll get me all teary lol im guessing your talking bout the quote? so true isn't it wen i first saw it ,its exactly wat i needed to hear at the time to give me strength to keep going to forget (stupid xp), i put it there to remind me IYKWIM to keep going and not to look back
Agreed, brilliant quote. It's amazing how a few words can change your whole perspective.
I would also be interested in a single mothers group in Melbourne. I'm not due til mid Jan 2010 but to have others to chat to who are going through/gone through a similar thing would be awesome.
I've only ever come across a young single mums one & at my age I most certainly don't qualify for that. You might find that some of the women at your mums group don't have very supportive partners & you will still get to ***** about men. That's what I found anyway.
im interested. i have a mums group at the moment and they all have partners, and from what they say their partners are very supportive. kinda makes me an outcast.
the thing I found with mothers groups that have just formed is that there seems to be this pressure to be 'perfect' in every way so people can say they have wonderful babies and wonderful partners but it isn't until you get to know them that they feel safe and comfortable enough to tell the truth.
BTW a bit off topic but BR I love your new AV and this is the first time I have noticed it
I'm in Vermont at the moment and hoping to stay in the area although that will all be up to the real estate gods at this point. I've almost been persuaded to attend my first formal Mummy's Group next Tuesday although I must admit I'm dreading it a little - and sometimes a lot - but it's just the introduction so it can't be that bad, right?
I guess it's just that now that Seth has been home for a few weeks, it occasionally sinks in how both lucky and unlucky I am to get the chance to parent alone, depending on how the day went of course.
Maybe I'll contact the Royal Women's and see if they have any info or can point me in the right direction.
I'll post back if I come up with anything useful, but FWIW, if anyone wants to get together PM and we can start our own!!
