Does anyone know of any Mommy & Me Play Groups in the El Paso area? I am new here and have decided to try a new way to meet other "todler Moms" I have four children 12, 9, 8, & 28 Months. I have noticed when meeting the parents of my school age children the woman are significantly older and don't have younger children. I am 27... Being a Military Wife I have also run into the issue I am a "second wife", I never knew I would belong to such a hated group woman, but being the outgoing person I am have found the "second wives" aren't as welcome... I am originally from Colorado and find myself still activily involved in my friends lives from back home but it's hard to grab a cup of coffee and watch the little ones play 600 miles away! This is our 3rd state in 20 months and just as I got settled into Virginia and met a great circle of friends we moved... help before I turn into a MySpace Hermit! HAHAHA

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all for your suggestions and messages... I think for me and my little munchkin going the routt of meeting moms and tots for playdates is more appropriate. We can be found at www.myspace.com/muffiaboss or ____@____.com

Hi D.,
Just wanted to say welcome to El Paso and I too am looking for a play group too. I have a 3 yr. old son and 14 & 15 year old daughters. I stay at home during the week and work on weekends when my husband is home. I live on the east side and I have some friends that I try to get together with a couple times per month to all meet at the park or Chic Filet so the kids can play and we can chat. I would love to find something more regular like a weekly play group for my son.

Have you checked into the Playgroups that are hosted by ACS on post? When we got here a couple of years ago, they had one, but I never got around to going. Ha! :) Just a thought!

there are a few Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) groups around here. they have a website where you can find the one nearest you. you also might try Moms Group International. they have a yearly membership fee, but it's very cheap and they do a lot of activities every month. check out their website too.

CYS on post will know about Mommy and Me activities, since you're military. I too am a military spouse and a second wife. I look to FRG meetings for potential local friends for me and my kids. My kids also go to the daycare on post, and I know even SAHM's need an hour or two for themselves, so even if you don't really use it, register for CYS so you'll have the hourly care available. We came to El Paso from Colorado and we really don't like it here, but what are you gonna do? I miss Colorado mostly because of the great friends I have there, but I've met some pretty cool women here who have made it not so horrible.
