First i have to say i'm thankful for this site. Its given me so much hope and i thank everyone who gave me advice and shared thier stories with me. I'm 24 yrs old and just moved to Reading about 3 yrs ago and i'm still at home not knowing anyone or things to do. Ive tried making friends but none that i trust or none that i can hang out and do outings with kids. I'm looking for a friend to talk to, another mother who enjoy to do things with there kids or child like i like to do with mines it just gets lonley from time to time for the simple fact that my husband is the only family i have out here and his sister. I miss my friends back home and stay in touch with them tru phone alot but I need a good friend any age to just do things with, talk, share ideas, from anywhere. pls give me your outlook on my situtaion and any advice or help u can tell me i would appreciate it.. Thank you

What can I do next?

Hi Jayda,
I too have family in another state but have wonderful friends and in-laws here. Look online for Moms Groups in your area. I know that there is one in Mohnton so go to Yahoo or Google and type in 'Moms Groups in Reading PA'. They are a wonderful way to meet new friends fro yourself and your children!
Good luck...

Hi Jayda,
i had the same problem when i moved to south jersey and I found a local moms club which I am now meeting new people and getting my child around his peers. It's important not only for your child but for you as well. Here is a website to look into. www.momsclub.org. You can find a chapter that's local to you. They do all sorts of activities with the kids and you get to meet moms like you. I hope this helps.

Hi Jayda
I am also a 25 year old stay at home mom that is relatively new to the area. I just recently made freinds in the last year or so. I feel the same way, it is really hard to meet people you can trust. How old are your children? If you are looking for a friend maybe we could get together some time. I joined some mothers groups and found a few friends.

I moved to Denver, PA just 3 years ago, and people up here are very hard to be friends with. I am 45, divorced since I moved up here, but I have a 16 year old daughter and a 13 year old son. I have no one up here either. You want to talk I can give you my home number and maybe we can start a great friendship. I am like your mother, matter of fact I do have a 25 year old daughter who has two grandchildren.
let me know
thanks

First off I know exactly how you feel. I am 26 years old and have two biys 6 & 8months. It is so hard to find and keep friends. I am in Ellwood I think I am about 40 mins from you which isn't too bad. If you ever want to get together let me know. I love to go out dancing, and I love to go out for coffee too. Also I saw that you want to stay at home and work. I might be able to help you with that too. I work for a company called pure romance. It is an awesome company and I make excellant money with them. I have made a ton of friends through the company as well. Here is my website if you would like to check it out: www.chrissycarter.pureromance.com
Please feel free to call me if you want to get together sometime or if you have any questions about my business. Or send me your email and I can contact you. Thanks a bunch and best of luck with all that you do.

Hi Jayda,
I am also fairly new to the area, me and my boyfriend moved to Eagleville about a year and a half ago and like you, it's just the two of us and his daughter when we have her. We are coming to the end of a custody battle of which we won but that is a whole different story for another time. I've only met one person from this area that i made friends with, we went to the same college in philadelphia and met at the train station, only problem was, it was her first quarter and my last quarter, so since I've graduated, I haven't really seen her. It would be nice to get together with someone and have a new friend. How old are your children? My step-daughter is 5 1/2. She's very energetic and sweet. If you would like to talk or get together sometime, then just message me.
