Visit Mum's Friendship and find friends!! I opened HP to make friends for mum. It's really fun to talk about your children, family and culture in English. Let's exchange your idea with Mum around the world.

Hi,
I'm a mum of a 9 week old daughter. We are desperately looking for other English speaking Mums to get us out of the house occasionally. Any ideas of what groups to join?

Hallo, ladies!
I'm an (ancient) dad of a 5-year-old daughter. The resident mum (exactly half as ancient!) is currently in hospital looking after our 2-day-old daughter. We live in Yokohama, the same distance (~20 min walk or 5 min by bus) from Yokohama and Sakuragicho Stations. She is Japanese, qualified as a high school English teacher (B.A.), and is a qualified and (until recently) practising nurse (R.N.), especially skilled in pediatric nursing. Before this sounds too much like a job application, I ought to say that we're looking for either groups or individuals for friendship, cooperation, co-education-- especially in English--and activities. We'd of course prefer not to have to go all the way to Tokyo each time for that purpose....
Happy days to all!--Chris Reynolds

hi,
i'm a first time pregnant mom, due in december, and am looking for english speakers in a similar situation living in or around the yokohama konan-ku area for friendship and support. or if anyone knows of a networking group in this area, please contact me!
looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi I am a new mom living in Fukuoka and I would like to meet new friends who speak english. I started a play group in Fukuoka since I could not find a preexisting one. However I have not found that many people who would like to join. If you would like to join please contact me or contact me just to talk.

Hi Judy,

I wonder if you have inquired about mum groups in Yokohama at the following non-profitable organizations.

The Konan International Lounge
http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~mk01-kil/ehome/index.htm

YOKE which provides all kinds of info for non-native residents in Yokohama
http://www.yoke.city.yokohama.jp/indexe.html

Magical Child Club which is one of the most respected mum's groups in Yokohama
http://magical-garden.hp.infoseek.co.jp/index.htm

I was a co-founder of Pao Pao Ship in Kanagawa-ku.

Hi - we are moving to Tokyo in March for a 3 year assignment. We have a 20 month old and will likley have another shortly. I am looking for any moms and moms to be to hook my wife up with asap to chat about experiences, having kids in Tokyo, etc. For those of you experienced expats I'm sure you know how she is feeling... she will be looking for a play group as well for when we arrive. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi Bruce,
We have lived in Tokyo for 6 years. My 5-yr-old and 2-yr-old were born here. Do you know where you will be living in Tokyo yet? I would be happy to help your wife with any questions she may have.

Seems to me that KUDOS is
more of a spammer ...Did you
need to post everywhere?

Geraldine from Kudos spammed herself, realized what happened, and sent me an apology which I am passing on to everyone now. She apologized before I even had a chance to get on her case. She read the posting guidelines after the fact. I strongly encourage everyone else to read the posting guidelines (if you haven't already) at http://www.tokyowithkids.com/discussions/board-instructions.html They are not that long!
I hope everone had a great summer! I'm preparing to fly back to Tokyo on Wednesday (arrive Thursday), so I will not be available for assistance for the rest of this week probably. There's just too much going on with school starting, etc.

MOM AND KIDS CLUB!!

Hello all! I am a mom to an 11 month year old, and am looking to form a mom and kids club in central Tokyo (mainly Meguro, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Azabu area).

Details to be discussed with members, but I am thinking we all just meet up once a week, or more even if it works out; we can all go to the aquarium together, rent space and just hang out with our kids there, get coffee, go shopping, plan events, etc. I am open to suggestions!

I am a Japanese national, but spent half my life in Australia, the U.S. and Shanghai. I speak fluent english and Japanese, plus conversational Chinese.

All nationalities are welcome to join the club, no membership fees (at least for the time being), just whatever costs incur for whatever we plan to do. Main language should be english, but we can always do culture/language exchange!

Please contact me (Lei) at:
leioyamada@hotmail.com if you are interested!

Let's hang out and have fun!

Hi Lene,

I'm in Yokohama. We have been here for 7 months now. I have a 2.5 year old daughter and a 3 month old son. I also feel pretty alone in Yokohama. You can send me an email through my profile and maybe we can meet up. I'm in the process of trying to find a preschool for my daughter and I still need to get a car since we don't live close to a train station.

We found a playgroup that meets in downtown Tokyo, but wanted to find something closer to us near Kokubunji/Tachikawa.

If you are interested in meeting please email me!

Hi, I wanted to see if there is any interest in starting a "Yokohama Mums in the Park" group. I live in Yokohama, in Honmoku and there are so many lovely parks around here. The weather is starting to warm up and so I was hoping to start up some sort of regular meetings where we can get out from the concrete jungle and enjoy some nature. It wouldn't necessarily have to be in Honmoku each time - it could be different places in Yokohama.

Please let me know if you are interested. My email is boppu@mac.com.

Hi there,

I'm a 22 years old mom, living in Hachioji, Tokyo. I have a little son who just turned 1 year old and I'm looking for a playgroup or playmate for him. He is very healthy and too outgoing but a little shy sometimes. He's learning both Japanese and English. I would be happy if I could learn English through talk as well because I have been rusty on English since I moved back from Canada.

Please email me anytime!
