i moved to Washington 5 months ago and i have not managed to speak to anyone yet. I have 4 children the youngest being only 12 weeks old so i can't go anywhere alone like the gym or college. I go to the library and the park and see other mums but the most i ever manage to say is "awww your babys lovelly, how old?" then they answer and thats it. it's pathetic.i'm so shy!! lol i feel so depressed. i'm only 25 i am married but i'm so bored everywhere i go i see girls together laughing and gossiping. i miss that soooooooooo much. how can i get confidence and make friends HEEEELP!!

People think it is so easy to go to college,the gym etc with kids.They have no idea how isolating having kids can be.As a mother,I can say when my girls were younger it was like taking my luggage with me everytime I went out.I love my kids unconditionally but I know exactly how you feel.A better more realistic idea would be to do a search of your area for groups with young kids.you know like coffee mornings,nearly every area has groups with mums and kids.It really would break your day up.The kids get to play together and the mums have a chat.You are not alone with how you are feeling,and there will be other mums in exactly the same position as you.Once you forge friendships at a group,as your children grow you will make solid friendships.I always used to make friends at the school gates,waiting for the kids to come out every day.Most days I would go to the school early as I got to know people better.It is difficult,and I wish you lived near me!!!!!!!
p.s I've just had a look at your 360 page,I'm not surprised people always say "awww your babys lovely,how old"?. Your kids are gorgeous and your baby is adorable.

The best thing you can do is to join a group of some sort.
What are you interested in?
Walking...join a walking group, flower arranging or computers etc. join a college course.
Just think of something that interests you and search on the Internet on that topic in your area, or get a prospectus from a local college.
This way you will meet people with the same interests as you.
Good luck!
