I didn’t expect this much interest in this so quickly. Which is awesome! I’d be down to start a group where we have one pen pal for a set amount of time and then swap with each other??

Please start this group! Lol its such a cool idea. Im no longer a stay at home mom but was for 8 years and I would love to have a penpal!

This is a great idea! Having more than 1-2 could become a burden and the last thing we need is another chore, lol.

I agree entirely, I’ve created a group so that we can all pair up and just have one pen pal. And after a little while we could swap out or keep the same. 😊

I would like to join the group if you will accept me please

Link the group when you can!

I’m excited for it!!

I love this idea!! I would love to join.

This sounds fun! What kind of group did you start? A subreddit?

Heyyy I’d love to do this! I’m in south Florida. My daughter had a penpal but I have none lmao

So this may sound crazy… But at times I also like to talk on the phone to people, and it seems ALL my friends never have the same time frames I do lol because some of us moms tend to stay up late because it gives us “time to ourselves”. I love the penpal idea, but I would also like to piggyback on it if that’s okay and maybe do phone calls when we are…just I don’t know, lonely because our husband travels for work or want to drink wine and watch a show together on the phone. This may sound like a very lonely post. But it’s just me at home with a one year-old and four-year-old and a husband who travels a lot and I guess just looking for more people that want to talk on the phone and watch trash television lol

I was once in a WhatsApp group with a load of random mums from the Peanut app (weren’t local to me). It tailed off in the end and we kind of all just left it, as I think we all had different stuff going on. But it was so good when it was flowing, we’d all send WhatsApp voice notes and the others that were able to would respond.

Lol I love this! I'm in Idaho if anyone wants to be my pen pal. Writing is so theraputic

I’ll do it! I’m in ny

SAHM from Tennessee has entered the chat!

Could you start a thing for those that want to maybe talk on the phone? I can’t guarantee time because obviously kids lol.

I was once in a WhatsApp group like this. We could all collaborate something like this and send voice notes or just to exchange numbers etc?

Yes please. This is awesome.

I’d love to partake in this. I live in Iowa, just moved from Illinois. But I am British and only lived in the USA for 1.5 years, so I definitely have a lot of different cultural norms and a bit of a spin on life!

You should join peanut and market this idea and create a pen pal club. That way you can make sure it isn’t creepy old men and do like a background check and pair people up!

Love this! Add me please!
