Let’s face it. You’re not in high school anymore, and you probably didn’t stay in touch with many of your friends. People work, people are tired, and people have Netflix. 😂
But while you may do perfectly fine on your own in your “early years,” not having friends as a mom is a totally different feeling- especially as a working mom. Whether you’ve been perfectly content with just your partner, or your friends are all in different phases in life, you need someone on the same level that you can relate to.
What if there was a way to “speed date” other moms- like Tinder for mom friends?! Easily find out who wants to take the kids to museums, go for hikes, or plop the kids down with a movie and have a cocktail. Well, there is- and I just downloaded it! It’s called MomieGo– an app that connects you with local parents in your area, and no- it’s not just for moms. That’s right dads, get your baby carriers and get ready to swap grilling stories with the guys.
MomieGo is so simple to use. Just like Tinder (I’m assuming, I married before “those days” 😂), you set up your profile and set a radius around your town, swipe left or right based on first impressions and their BIOs, and if they swipe back, it’s a match! Get the app HERE.
What Can You See In A MomieGo Profile?
What can you see about another parent in their profile? You can actually learn a ton about your potential “matches” at first glance before you swipe left or right. Profiles include:
- Profile Picture
- First Name
- Age
- City/Location
- Ages and Genders Of Children
- About Me/BIO
- Interests & What They Enjoy (Hiking, Wine, Crafting, Girl’s Night, etc.)
MomieGO is an excellent way to make friends as a working mom, stay at home mom, or a mom that is still just trying to figure it out. Look below for a few more tips on how to make friends as a working mom!
Join A Local MOMS Club/Church Group:
Small local groups can be a great way to get yourself out there, and to have a good range of kids for your little one(s) to play with. I grew up around our local MOMS club, and my mother is still great friends to this day with many of them. The cons? Sometimes the group fizzles out, or some personalities don’t match within the group.
Reach Out To Coworkers With Kids:
Some people think it’s weird to mix “pleasure with business,” and in some circumstances it can be. But I loved getting together with one of my coworker and her daughter! We had gotten along great for years, and know all about each other’s kids, but had never gotten together. Take the plunge and ask your coworker out on a play date!
Tell Your Partner You Need A Break:
No, not a separation- get out without your kid! Not all relationships and friendships need to focus on the children. Get out and have a girls night by going to happy hour, getting pedicures, or anything else you guys enjoy.
