Mommy cards are all the rage here apparently. I read about them in a magazine. I do not have one but then I'm not one of the fashionable "Latte macchiato Moms" as the German papers have dubbed them. You know, the ones with the expensive strollers, designer clothes, and high aspirations for their kids who have read every parenting handbook there is and send their offspring to all sorts of toddler classes where they learn Chinese or do pottery or something.

I'm not the best conversationalist either (I find blog comments difficult enough) and there's at least one very nice mother I'd have liked to know better that got away from me, because she doesn't stop at our playground any more. There was the added complication that the other mother who was always there with her was a crazy woman who continually fed her kids sweets and I couldn't ask one for her contact details and then forget the other...

The kid has got a bunch of playground friends but so far it stayed in the playground, but like I said, there are only one or two moms I really clicked with and who I would want to meet (and their kids) in a different setting. Maybe I'm too picky? But parenting from the distance with a cigarette in your mouth and then smacking your kid when he wants attention isn't really my style.

tl_dr: I don't have answers either and I talk too much, but not to the other moms at the playground.
