Are you alone and hurting from this family situation, that after divorce, your children get more and more distant from you? Let's help each other by getting together from time to time to support each other! Parental Alienation is a dangerous form of mental abuse....not just of the children or young adult children, but for the parent who is getting alienated. I feel very strongly about this terrible problem, whereas, the parent feels like they're not worthy, or you feel like your losing your mind …

Are you a busy mom or dad whose children aren't yet in full-day Elementary School? Are you looking for *uninterrupted*  time to work on your laptop, read books, pay bills, write letters, scrapbook, sew, or do other table-oriented tasks?

They say it takes a village to raise a child and I realized how true that was three months after I had my son. I started looking around and realized my village was scant and my villagers few. For the last few months I have been contemplating starting this meetup and have finally decided to do it. If you live in Lanham, Greenbelt and even Bowie area and want to meet other like minded parents then this is the place for you! I would like this group to foster a community where we can provide a safe …

A social group for helping connect busy techies, geeks and entrepreneurs who are also busy parents in the Baltimore area. We hope to meet every other month or so in an informal way to share our projects, compare notes on entrepreneurship, and support each other as we strive for that ever elusive "work/life balance." Babysitters encouraged, spouses welcome! (And non-parents are welcome, too -- we're inclusive.)

The Baltimore Mindful Black Parenting group exists to bring together parents striving to practice mindfulness and awareness in their daily interactions with their children (and others). Meeting up at family friendly venues to get to know each other and share our ideas, practices, etc. are just a few of the activities we can look forward to.

The purpose of this group is to keep the girls and parents informed of what is happening and to encourage getting together outside the official Girl Scout activities.

We believe in raising our kids to be ethical and caring freethinkers and to teach them values of reason and compassion. We welcome families of humanists, atheists, freethinkers, skeptics. We recommend Dale McGowan's "Parenting Beyond Belief" (http://parentingbeyondbelief.com/).

A fun and interactive group for Russian speaking parents and children. Let's get together for some playdates and events like going to storytime and the library, having picnics in the summer at the parks, birthday parties and playdates in our homes. Our children need to make more friends and share Russian culture. We can also have events for just the mommies, like moms night-out, movies, dinner... and anything else that looks like fun!

I am interested in organizing activities with other like minded, mature, professionals that are also responsible for caring for aging parents. The primary purpose of this meetup will be to set up monthly or bi-weekly social events, such as happy hours, movie nights, game nights or fitness activities that both the adult children and parents can actively participate and get to know others with similar interests and needs.

This group was created for families like ours. No... not same-sex bi-racial families, working moms, or active families living in PG county. Whew, thats alot! But by simple geography! Families living in neighborhoods where you may be (or at least) feel like the only one's with kids. And you would love to connect with other parents (parent play-dates!) and just dont understand why it feels like someone requires a passport to cross their neighborhood lines! If you answer yes or maybe to any of thes …

This is a group designed for single parents in Howard County who are looking to find things to do both for their kids and themselves. We can be creative in the activities that you want to do, whether it's taking the kids for hikes, going to museums in DC or Baltimore, or Ellicott City, local festivals, going to orchards or for the adults, going to trivia nights at local establishments, or happy hours.

Often a caregiver feels isolated and like they're carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. They feel tied down by their responsibilities and because of this, may miss out on available services. Help is out there, but it's not always easy to find. Let's get together and help each other out.

This group is for parents interested in playdates and other fun family activities. Specifically, for parents of children in the Columbia Gymboree. I started this group for us to help each other by being able to reach out - whether for outdoor activities like sports or parks, or for movie nights, birthday parties, aquarium and zoo visits, or swapping baby sitting nights for date nights :) But really, the group is all about the kids having fun - together!
