Lady P Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm extremely frustrated with my friends at the minute, I'm a single mum who desperately needs to get out and have an adult conversation and a bit of "girlie " time but all my friends are married or in relationships and so don't want to do ANYTHING. Some because partners won't let em. I was wondering if there was any social groups for single mums looking for other single mum friends ????

Electerrific Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hmmm, going by the slow response so far, it looks like you might still be ''extremely frustrated'' for no-show friends? These threads always fall flat on SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't say how old you are, but if you are on Facebook there is a group called '20 somethings in Sheffield'. They always seem to be planning nights out, meals and trips to the cinema. I haven't gotten around to joining one yet though Are you friends with any of your children's friends' parents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 You might have a look in the Evenings Out section in the Sheffield section of the forums, the top bit. It's a sub forum of Going Out in Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady P Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thank you both mecky and Isabelle. I'm 31 yrs old and am friends with parents of kids parents but everyone in circle of "mummy friends" is either married or in a long term relaTionship and its seems that I am some what of a "black spot" as in their respective partners think that ill tempt them to other side and that they have no reason to go out when they have their men at home.

SportsTrophy Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I can't imagine there are many social groups for single mums as they tend to concentrate on the young one(s) as their 'world'. You could try your community centre and have some banter whilst helping out with the day nursery or lunch club. Gym classes attract the right type of people where as drinking alcohol as a young parent isn't the type of routine you want to be getting into.

Lady P Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Which part is sexist super hans, just telling the situation as it is lol ---------- Post added 01-08-2013 at 09:32 ---------- Thank you for your comments sports' (hope you don't mind the abbreviation) I do go to the gym but it happens to be chapeltown and so the clientele is a little older (a lot, 20yrs actually) and have two volunteer jobs both though centred around children (can't get away from the buggers lol). I agree alcohol isnt we're it shd be at, but i need to do something more ADULT sometimes ---------- Post added 01-08-2013 at 09:38 ---------- :bigsmile:Alch find mums net a bit snobby and preachy, don't mean to offend anyone!!!
