Playgroup/Mom's Club Anything Not Catering to SAHM
I find it hard to find any kind of group/club for moms that does not cater to SAHM. I work full time and would like to join some sort of first time mom playgroup/club/group but everything i see is during the week during the day. Um hello, but there is such a thing as working moms!! It drives me nuts. Does anyone know of anything in the East Plano area?

I think there are more of us then we all think. I'm thankful to have SAHM friends that stroll with me after work, but they are not going to be able to relate to a Mom that works outside of the home and then takes care of a child she hasn't seen in 9 hrs. Same with me not knowing what it's like to be with my little one all day every day. Different dynamics.
I live in the M street neighborhood (near Mockingbird Station). Love to meet other working Moms as I honestly only know 1 other in the area. Open to driving to a central place.

Search meetup.com. I am part of a meetup and yes there are a lot of things for SAHM moms but we also have a lot of activities at night and on weekends for the moms that work. Good Luck! I just recently became a SAHM so I know the frustrations of working and having a hard time finding mom groups.

Don't have a specific suggestion, but you might try googling "moms playgroup for working moms" (or try a new search engine www.cuil.com). Good luck.

I don't have an answer for you, but I just wanted to say it makes me totally nuts, too. I'll be watching this request for suggestions.

Check with your homeowner's association, I know that we have a neighborhood mom's club that also meets on weekends here in Canyon Creek.

I guess I am late to this party -but I am also interested. I find it really hard to find not just play groups, but gymboree classes and that sort of thing for the working mom. I work odd hours and am actually home by 2:30 or so - but still can't seem to make a connection.
