I would dedicate time to anyone but everyone seems to reject me. I have lost lots of single friends being a mother but don't think that is all of it. Is there something in my personality that says I'm not a good friend or should I just start getting myself out there? I take quizzes that say I'm a good friend but have no friends to prove it too. I tried getting to know old friends again but they say they will but low-profile our friendship and are not there when I call or text etc. Where do moms get friends now a days?

Could it be that you have accidentally disconnected yourself from your friends in the past? I could remember my Mom once saying, that once you've become a mom your kids become your number one priority. Maybe your friends realize that and feel guilty about spending time with you, when you should be at home tending to the kids and the family.
You shouldn't give up trying to reconnect with existing friends. Though it would be nice to meet new ones, your already have a deeper relationship with old friends that just needs rekindling.

That is super true. I had my first when I was 18 so that must be the reason. They were immature and I had wanted nothing of it. I have given up on them since they are still under 30 and dumb! I really am grown past my years since before I even had children so I am happy with my mommy friends and half focused conversations. I have found new ways since I wrote this to talk to anyone at 4am and that is to make friends across the States or the world, so they will be up and not have a problem to talk to a friend :)
