My thoughts exactly. I traveled a lot when my wife and small child stayed home. They went every day to places that had events and activities for children and Moms. Zoos, science-for-kids exhibits, parks, etc etc. Plenty of them offer memberships and send out newsletters about upcoming events. Others are free, so pack a lunch. The kids make friends and learn lots of cool stuff, you meet other parents, get lots of new ideas and make friends.
The kids learn social skills, and on and on. Some of my wife's and my best friends decades later are parents of similarly aged children who met through mutual parenting. Some of the kids are still friends too.
Your number 1 goal in this stage of your life is the growth of your child, and it makes you and them more independent. Life happens outside the home. Home is a great place to sleep and eat, but that's about it. Go out and try to be somebody, and you and your child will develop together.
Just my opinion.
