You will most likely make your dad friends when the kids are in preschool. Hang in there.
This is the way.
It’s true, once you’re kids are in activities, you usually have a weekly “date” w the same people watching your kids together.
First couple years is basically just family (if around) and maybe a neighbor or two. Once your kids start to get into activities (like others have said), it changes quite a bit. Additionally, when my youngest was about four, my wife and I were able to start sleeping past 5:30a (or whenever they woke up). That’s a game changer and gets you back out of the deep trenches. You can start to get out at that point and hang with other families since your kids are reasonably self sufficient. We have three between 6 and 10 and it’s a very sweet spot right now. Enjoy each stage with them.
We have a small group for young families at our church! If you are religious, I'd def recommend starting with your place of worship
I feel you. I hear you become friends with the parents of your kids friends when they get into school.
One avenue that’s been successful for us has been via our church. In case you are open to that sort of thing, I’d recommend it.
Kids are better at making friends than adults. You'll get to know their friends parents and likely hang out with them. I met a lot of parents walking my kids to the school bus stop.
