Winchester Area Moms of Tweens/Teens
There are ton's of Mom's groups out there for Moms with toddlers and young children, but I'm new to the area and wanted to meet other moms in the area with Tweens and Teens. Are you looking to make new friends with Mom's who are going through or who have already experienced an "THE TEEN YEARS"? Let's find some fun things to do besides thinking about our kids. Dinner* Mani/Pedi*Shopping*Potlucks* College Tours*Lunch*Meet4Coffee* We can exchange info & tips on the college experience and reacquaint ourselves with what we were like BEFORE we had kids. Who should join? Moms who want to make new friends with other women in a similar stage in life. I don't know about you, but although I love my husband, having female friends with a sense of humor is highly important to me. Let's plan some outings and have some laughs! We all know having as since of humor is a must when raising teens. So wouldn't be nice to have a group moms to get together with that are dealing with the same challenges you are facing? As moms no matter where we are or what we are doing our kids are on our minds. It was so much easier to get together with other moms when the kids were little but then they got bigger and busier and suddenly nobody is around when you really need the advice and support. Having teens is a whole new world. One reason for starting this group is so we can hear each others perspectives on how to deal with stress. The confusion about what we're doing to successfully raise our children, who, as teenagers, are even more confused, and looking for guidance. When we're already stressed, it is difficult to maintain a calm exterior with our teens, especially when trying to get them to make the right choices. Band aids and kisses don't heal broken hearts.Children and teens today lead lives full of stress. They are under pressure to perform,pressure to get good grades, and social pressure from their peers. At the same time parents have their own stresses to do with the practicalities of life. So it would be nice meetup with other moms of tween/teens and just getaway for a few hours:) I would like this group to not only be a place for us moms to get together but also involve our tweens/teens(every once in awhile:) for fun activities geared towards our older kids as the group grows. I hope this group becomes very active and that all members participate by posting ideas, attending meetups and giving feedback. I look forward to meeting all of you!
