[Filtered to parents/guardians of young children]

I've noticed that there's quite a few of us with young kids in the infant to preteen range. I know that some of us have been here for awhile, but some, like my family, haven't been here very long, and as a result, don't really have much in terms of friends for our children, or a support group of other parents.

Has anyone ever talked of maybe forming a parents and kids group? Like, the parents hang out and talk about our lives or whatever, while the kids all play together? We meet up at maybe different houses or go on outings together, like to museums and the zoo, have cookouts, things like that. Maybe parents who've been around for awhile can give tips to other Displaced parents, and our kids have a group of friends that are in similar situations to theirs.

If other parents wanted to, I certainly wouldn't object to forming a group like this. It'd be nice to have a support group of other parents and it would be nice for my kids to have some friends around their age who are also in the same situation that they are.

	Having some sorta support network is a real good thing to have. For anyone with real little ones there's an indoor playground in Council 8 that's got like a play area with different toys and structures for infants to around five years old. It's a nice place to head when its real hot outside. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I live on a farm, too, so it's got lots of room for kids to play around, and we've got a pretty decent sized play area inside the house, in case we all wanted to meet up at someone's house. Even if someone has an infant, it'd be nice for them to just come and hang out with other parents, if they wanted to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm over in the woods with a lot of space and then of course I got the island area. I'd say the only thing is with infants we'd need to set up a space for them to be able to be on the ground without any danger. Those that don't got lil ones no more ain't always gonna have their areas as baby proofed no more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We have a one-month old at the house, so we've got a enough baby proofed space for infants to roam around without getting into anything that could possibly hurt them. If we could maybe get on a sort of rotation, that could work, too. Meet at someone's house one week, and then someone else's the next. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I reckon a rotation of some sort could work pretty well during the summer. School year might be a lil harder though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	During the summer, we can maybe meet up during the week, and then during the school year, maybe the second Saturday of every month? Something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something like that sounds doable to me. When I'm back in town I can get into the rotation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll probably post something later this week, once I've gotten a good idea of who's interested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll look for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
