Now that many people are out of the baby phase there’s dinners and lunches several times a week for all the moms in my kids’ elementary school. I’m trying to find a good balance with this. If your school has a similar situation how often do you typically socialize with other parents (sans kids)? Some are good friends but some are more acquaintances.
My social life has gone downhill the older my kids get because I spend more time driving my kids to and from activities, or at weekend tournaments, and swim meets. My kids do club swim and a winter travel sport, scouts, soccer, summer swim. There’s stuff going on year round. I rarely have time for dinner and lunches with friends.
