Hi, I am the mom of 2 children, ages 3 1/2 and 6. I am currently reading the book "The Power of a Praying Parent" and became inspired to start a group where we can pray for our children. I truly believe prayer makes a difference in our lives, and although none of us are perfect parents, we can all be praying parents. I have never run a group before and am not sure when/where we would meet; just wanted to see if there was any interest first and then we could maybe meet at a Starbucks/Panera type …

Thanks for checking out this meetup! I am the Mom of a 5 year old boy and have been looking to meet and connect with other GLBT families in Queens. I know there's a lot of us out there but finding a central place to connect, meet, share info and organize events has been a challenge. I thought it was time to finally bring our Queens families together so decided to start this meetup. If you are parents in a GLBT family and would like you and your kids to meet with other families in this wonderful …

This group is for Russian-speaking parents of Jersey City and near-by areas who want to meet other families and foster a community where their children can socialize in Russian.

We meet anywhere members choose- in the parks, during events, at people's homes, etc. Meetups include a variety of activities, ranging from just getting together on a playg …

It's hard to be a single parent, whether or not you share custody. It's hard to feel like all your married friends have someone to share these responsibilities with, while you're doing it all on your own. Or in joint-custody situations, you often feel like part of you is missing when your child is with his/her other parent, like you're only a part-time parent. Socializing can be challenging as well, both with your child and with other adults. Regardless of our situations, all single parents shar …

This is a meetup for single parents and their toddlers. Here we can join one another for support emotionally and for our children. This is a positive way to meet other parents in similar situations and for our children to play and learn from each other.

My goal is that this group will become a bunch of helping hands for all those single working parents out there who sometimes think this would be so much easier with some help;)! I hope it will bring people together that can exchange laughs, babysitting, adult time, friends and fun for the kids, an ear to listen and understand when someone feels like no one else does, and some good company whenever the hard work of working and single life gets you a bit down.. or up :)

My daughter continues to amaze me with her resilience and adaptability to everything she has gone through, and I would love to hear …
