[quote=Anonymous]You sound pretty judgemental, OP, but I'll answer like you're actually interested. The difference is that with so many two-career families, the odds that I actually know the parents of the kids my child spends all day with are low. Most kids are at daycare/preschool, or with a nanny during the day, and parents aren't there to see them play. So while it might seem normal to call up a friend with similarly-aged kids and get the kids together in an informal way, for my family, I don't have friends with kids close to my kids age, and I don't know the parents of my kids' friends. So, yeah, I get their number from the daycare directory and call and say that my child seems to enjoying playing with little Susie and are they free on Saturday, blah blah blah.[/quote]
