[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that people like talking about themselves. Right now I ask people what they’re doing during the summer, what their kids are doing during the summer. I meet people a lot of ways, but one way is through volunteering at various kids activities. I also host things and have kids and families over from time to time. I assume you’re not doing this but when people brag about their kids it’s a turnoff for me. [/quote] No bragging, and actually don't talk about DD much at all except maybe if there is something troubling at school I want to hear other parents weigh in on (anxiety about SOLs, homework, stuff like that). I can't volunteer too much, since most activities occur during the work day. We haven't tried hosting, as we live in a condo which is hard to host another whole family (we have tried, it's really really tight). We invite their kids over often and take them to the community pool and such.[/quote]
