Peanuts Help Find Mom Friends in Your Area
iOS: Becoming a parent can really ruin your relationships with friends, but dating becomes easier if your friends are also parents. The new Peanut app is designed to help women find Mommy friends through a Tinder-like interface.
However, if you don’t identify as a woman on your Facebook profile, you’re out of luck. Peanut uses your Facebook account to complete your profile in the app and then asks if your kids are boys or girls and their age. You can also choose small stickers for your profile, such as wine time, bookworm, or clutter. You can then flip through pictures of other mums in your area. I waved to some but got no response. Again, the app is new and there aren’t many people on it yet, so it may become more useful as more people join.
The crappy app and its weird daddish exclusion may be a stumbling block for some, but if it helps you make new friends, it’s worth it.
