Hi i was just wondering if anyone with pre-schoolers living in the Norwest or Hills district of Sydney would like to meet up for playdates and coffee. I don't know about you but i always imagined that when i had babies that i would make friends with people with babies the same age and we would have coffee mornings at each others houses. In the UK i used to regularly have Coffee with a friend who was a childminder and there would be other moms who would pop in and we would all sit and drink coffee and put the world to rights while the kids played happily. Since being in Sydney i have noticed a lot of moms are very clique if you kids aren't in the right club or you don't wear the right clothes have the right hairstyle or you don't have a hubby who is a high powered exec then you are a nobody. I love meeting up in cafes but i find this gets expensive when you factor in the cost of a couple of cups of coffee then it drags into lunch and if your little ones are like mine they will quite happily chow down on a kids meal of their own(god forbid he should have to share with mommy). So my thinking was that if anyone has any pre-schoolers or just wants to join me in putting the world to rights i would love to have people join me in a coffee morning location my kitchen with coffee and goodies for the mommies and some lovely morning tea for the kids. If anyone is interested IM me and we will sort something out.

Cheers

Gosh is it really like that. We are likely to move to the hills area next year, I thought it would be friendlier than here.

People are great if you can get them to talk to you but i have found they are very clique maybe it is just me being oversensitive but i found that when i 1st went to playgroup with my son the parents were friendly enough to you but i never got invited anywhere and when you bump into them while you are out you feel like a right lemon e.g started going t playgroup then found a playcentre called lollipops so thought great might meet people there sat on my own the whole time and even spotted the same group of mums from the playgroup they said hi but didn't invite me to sit with them so i felt sooo stupid. As i say it might just be the deoderant i am wearing lol.

When are you getting here? would love to meet up and introduce you to the folks i have met and where ikn the hills are you looking to live.

Hi, i think what you are describing is an issue with mums and toddler groups everywhere. I have found similar problems in London. I have a five year old and 1 year old. Though he will be two and a half by the time we get there. I am Australian actually, but having been living in the UK for the past twelve years. We are looking at the castle hill area at the moment, we dont know the area at all really, but dont want to be too far away from facilities. We will be arriving towards the end of next year, a while off yet. How long have you been there ? and where are you from?
