There is no dearth of opportunity to connect with others parents, be it outside our apartment door or in the greater San Diego area. I never tried too terribly hard while living in Lanesboro, so I feel a bit amazed. A local, free magazine lists kid-friendly events and there are plenty that are free. We're signed up for two groups on meetup.com and an online network for UCSD graduate parents. We try to get to the Mesa parks at the times when most parents and kids are out, we go to library time when it doesn't land during nap time (and play at yet another park) and have been introduced to the church nursery. So, we show up. We talk. We play. We hope for connections that will last.

I totally relate. We often feel still that we are breaking into other people's already-established relationships and that they don't have much room for us. It is never as easy as college to make new friends, it seems. The best bet seems to be meeting other new people too who aldo need friends.
