Looking to Meet Great Couples

hi A., my husband are in the same runt as you both are.we have a son kadynn 2 years and a daughter korinn 2 months.all are friends ditched us because thay don't have children.we are in palm desert and looking to meet parents and ther children.im here if any one needs to chat. S.

Hi! I just joined. So, I am looking around. I have an 11 year old daughter, 9 year old daughter and a 3 year old son. I have been married for almost (May) 12 years. I am 33. I was born and raised in Roseville. As for meetings couples...I don't know. School. Neighbors. We don't do many couple things. We have couple friends, but never seem to go out. Sometimes they will come over to watch a fight and bring the kids. That is about it. I do massage therapy part time. So, for the most part I am home with my son. We hit the Westhouse or the Troc sometimes. My girlfriend and I were just talking about needing to find a hobby! Anyway, just chatting along here! G.

I totally understand what you mean about getting out and meeting new people. I am 32, new to the Portland area and My husband 32, has a lot of friends here but most are single. It would be really fun to meet some couples to have some fun with. We have a ten month old son and I have an adopted daughter who is 21. It would be nice to make some new mommy friends too. I'm a stay at home mom that does daycare of 2- 3 year olds and another 10 month old. It would be so wonderful to have some adult conversation.

When my husband and I moved to this area it was hard to make new friends. I took cookies to neighbors and that is how we made friends with our best friends here. We met other friends through work and church. Small groups or Bible Studies with similar age parents and kids are hard to find, but if you call around and find a church that has this, I highly recommend at least checking it out.

I am new to the group. My husband and I are also in that same place, seems like we haven't meet other people just to just hang out. I am 36 and he is 34.

My family and I live outside the Eugene area, and I know what you’re talking about. The problem that my husband and I both have is we both take forever to makes friends with someone. We are just terrible at it, we both have good friends dating back to pre-school!! My husband is not very outgoing at first, and doesn't like big groups of people. I am outgoing and do fine in a crowd. My mother-in-law is against meeting strangers and has been all of my husband’s life, so I have been trying to work with him on that one. Then there is work, and kids, people are busy and making friends seems harder than it was without children. I keep telling myself to be open to new people and different settings and I will meet people that I want to speed time with. So anyone in the area want together for tea?

I wish i could help you out but my husband and i have lived here for a year and still havent really made any couple friends either. He has his friends and i have mine. Its hard for us being new. We arent the most shy people around i think we just havent really tried. Well i hope you find those friends you are looking for.

Are you still looking to meet new couples? what area do you live in? We are in the 90275 area. We actually have a few things in common. We too are stuck in a rut trying to meet new couples. My husband is also a retail manager for Tourneau Watches. We have 4 kids ages 6 and younger. If you are near our area write back.

I'm in Hillsboro and have a son, 4, and daughter, 6 months. We've only been in the area for a year and a half and all i can say is making friends takes a lot of effort. The couple friends that we have made are mainly from my husband's work. But to get the friendships going meant hosting a lot of dinners and making a lot of phone calls to check in and stay connected (which I am so not good at). I've also found that connecting with other moms with kids such as through a Moms Club can expand to couple friendships--OK I'm still working on that one. My plan for the new year is to have different couples over for dinner at least once a month and keep my fingers crossed that some good friendships develop.

Hi there A.. My husband and I have the same problem as well. We don't get out much, and honestly, my new years resolution is to find more of a life outside of my home. I'm 24 and my husband is 38 and we have a VERY happy marriage. We have 5 kids, ages 18 (boy), 16(boy), 11(girl), 5(girl), and 6 months (girl). We're in Sacramento as well and always on the look out for wonderful people! If you would like to meet up for coffee or something (decaf for me, usually -breastfeeding), let me know. I'm a stay-at-home mom and daycare provider to three kids (for the time being). I get off work between 3:00-3:30. I'd love to chat more. You can check me out on myspace as well... here's the link to me:

thanks,

What city do you live in? I know your post was from last year and all but we're always looking for friends in the area as well. My husband and I have been married 9 years this October. He's a high school teacher and I'm a stay at home mom. We have 3 boys (two together) ages 14, 7 and 5. I'm 34 and hubby is 38. So we're a little older than you guys i guess. We live in Manteca.

Hi A.,
My husband and I also have the same problem. He works at the University of Portland and I'm a SAHM with a home daycare business. We are in our early 30's and have four children ages 9, 4, 3, and 17 months. We have 2 boys and 2 girls. We live in Woodburn. We live in my husbands childhood home, we bought it from his parents about 4 years ago. We love to get together and play games, cook good food, BBQ or watch the game. We are huge baseball fans, so we are patiently waiting for spring training! LOL

Hi A. - I am very new to Mommasource and actually your request is the first I've reviewed.

Your family sounds adorable!!

I am expecting my first baby due Feb 21th. I am not married however live with the babys father. We are curious about the journey we have in store with our newborn soon arriving.

I couldnt help but notice the bottom of your request mentioning you will be trying to buy your first house in the next 6 months. I would love to help answer any questions you may have about the purchase process; I am a loan officer. Please keep me in mind.

Not to discount the purpose of your request to..."meet great couples", but I dont see myself mingling socially for the next 3-4 months due to my due date being less than 30 days away and the adjustment period there after. I do however want to continue to network my business services.

I look forward to further communication!

Have a great day,
J.

My husband and I are ten years apart hes 33 and im 23. We have a 20 month old daughter. We also are after friends. I have few mommy friends, but it seems like everytime I call they are too busy. We would love to get together as familes or just couples for some adult talk! We don't attend a church (yet) with him working and Im trying to run a house we are ready to take on another adventure and friends! We are in the roseville area.

I am so glad to hear that other people have the same problem as my husband and I. I always tell my husband we need to make more friends, but where are you supposed to meet good people? I have been especially picky since I had my son because there are certain people I just don't want around my son. We are kind giving people who are looking to find more friends like ourselves but my husband and I are both very shy, so that makes it even more difficult. If you find a good solution to meeting more "couple" friends I would love to know what it is.
Good luck!!!

wow, I thought I was the only one with this problem!! I am 32 almost 33 (in Feb) and my husband is 44 and we have 4 kids at home 2 boys ages 14 almost 15 (in Jan),13 and 2 girls ages 6 and 2. We live in the Spokane Valley and would love to meet new frenz so if anyone is interested drop me a line.

I am in the same boat... I would love to be able to meet other "couples" that we can do things with... people that understand life with children. We are in Southern Oregon... anyone from around here with the same issue?

I am in so. oregon as well definatly in the same boat do know some other moms though the problem is usually my husband is not very good at socializing the other dads like him if they meet him he just isn't the type that will go out of his way to talk to anybody I am definatly open to meeting more couples w/ kids

Hi! Where are you located?
My name is Kim..I am 33 and my hubby is Brad..34. We have three kids..girl 9 and two boys almost 5 and 6.
My hubby is a welder and I am a SAHM.
I am in Yamhill..which is by McMinville.

Hi A. :)

I can relate. I'm a SAHM with two kids, boy age 3.5 and girl age 6 months. Over the years our friends have just kinda disappeared (moved away or drifted apart) and now we don't really know anyone anymore. We love our life but it sure would be nice to meet other parents with kids. :)

A.-
I see that you are in Sacremento... I know there is a Active 20-30 Club in Sacremento that you might want to check out. I have met so many friends in this service club and most are young professional couples with kids that want to give back to their children's community by vounteering. I have been in the Eugene clube for 4 years and met many great people!
Good luck-
D'arcy
p.s. And if you need help to buy a house, let me know and I can refer you to a Realtor/Broker there. I have been in real estate for 15 years.

My husband and I have the same problem--we are both in our early 20's and had our first little one in November 2006. We had a hard time trying to find couples to hang out with before we had our son, but now find it difficult to even go out to look for people! We live in Las Vegas, city of singles... :) My sister's advice was to look for couples at church or join a playgroup and befriend someone there. Have yet to have any luck myself, but maybe it will work for you. Good luck!!

HI A.. well.. its really hard to meet people.. maybe if you met some other moms, and then got together as couples, you could start some friendships.
Im a mom of 2 boys, 9 and 2.5.
Feel free to message me. Maybe we, and others, can do coffee after the holidays.

hello, i am in las vegas, i would love to make new friends. anybody live in the same place?
