Looking for Like-minded (Liberal) Moms in My Area

Hi K.,
I feel for you, unfortunately I too am/have been in the same boat. I am a mommy who is also a full time college student and a flag waving,pro-choice Democrat. This forum may not be the one to find what you are looking for. Maybe there is a website called left-wing/liberal moms. I am bringing my daughter up to know "its her body, her choice", and to represent intelligence, good character and, common sence in all she does. My daughter is 4 years old so we are not a fit for the play date option, but I can always make time for a new friend.

where are you? that would help. I am a OC transplant, and, yep, I am out of place. I pretty much keep my mouth shut, unless some one asks.

I'm in the Fullerton area and have a 3 and 4 year old boys.

I would love to hang out.but i think it is too far. i have two, 2.5 and 5mo. But i feel so out of place here. Someone came and was trying to get me to vote against same sex marriage and looked appalled when i said I would never endorse such a thing. From LA county, didn't realize 10miles is a world away. i feel out of place too.

Hang in there K., My kids are 15 and 19 so I am not the play date type. But I understand your dilemma. Yesterday I went to my drawing class and could not help but over hear the table next to me (they guy had a booming voice) discussing the virtues of Palin and the wonders of Rep. Convention speeches. Eeesh, what a way to ruin a perfectly good art class. There was no way to get away from him either. I haven’t any desire to inflict my beliefs on others in that way, but it would be a lot fun to hang out with people who shared my point of view so we could enjoy talking about the things I passionately care about. I hope you find some other moms to have fun with in this way too. If you just want to discuss your views with someone, email me. I‘d enjoy conversing back and forth with you.

Hi K.,

Check out www.meetup.com - there are some fun groups of moms on the site and I think there was one called Punky moms that talked about them being a liberal group.

Where are you located? I am in Long Beach, 10 blocks from the beach. You should also check out meetup.com and sign up for the LB moms group. A good diversity of moms & opinions.

WOW! It's great to see that there are so many left moms out there. Very cool! I'm in Lakewood with a 5 yr old and a 1 1/2 yr old in case you organize a get-together.
Take Care!

I am in Long Beach, really close to HB, and grew up "behind the Orange Curtain" - a democrat in OC! I often feel the same way - my husband and his family are all republicans and I just get outnumbered. I also get a lot of slack for my parenting style - I practice attachment parenting and am still nursing my twin boys who turn 2 in October. My boys LOVE playdates - however they are sick right now (and so am I) but email me and we can set up a playdate.

Hi K.,
What do you mean by "slightly crunchy?" Granola girl? Tree hugger? LOL..my husband calls me a tree hugger all the time. I live in Irvine, so yeah, people can be a bit conservative, but many have surprised me too. I myself am pretty liberal too and I think that I recently scared a neighbor mom off because she hasn't called me back for a second stroll..whatever. Anyways, if you ever want to come to Irvine and stroll around one of the parks I am game!

Hi K. M!
I have two very close friends that I treasure and adore. We are at different ends of the political scale. I can't imagine my life without them. We agree to disagree and decided not to talk politics. We worked through it and I have to say, they have made my life more colorful...

Hugs,
M

How often are you talking politics? Are you pressing your views on others? I know this is the biggest Pres. race ever, but maybe some people don't want to talk about it. Some people, unfortunately, do not know enough about politics to have a discussion. Keep in mind, once people have their mind made up on a candidate tehy don't want to hear about the "other" sides issues or agenda. So, respect that and maybe you could keep some friendships.

All my friends and I are Political opposites, even my husband and are too. We have a great conversations, I haven't lost a friend or husband yet.
