[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sad truth is that, by and large, friendships made through your kids are fleeting.  They're often made more out of convenience than anything real and lasting.  When the kids drift apart, start participating in different activities, or leave the roost, there goes the friendship between the parents.  In other words, friendships that didn't survive covid were likely never really there in the first place.   [/quote]

I know.  I always knew that.  But we really were friends and spent lots of time together and it lasted 9 years!  Even though the kids were dispersed across Ward 5 schools by Count Day in PK3.  I just didn't realize that someone moving from Bloomingdale to Brookland would be enough to kill it off.[/quote]

See, you really [i]weren't[/i] friends.  It was a 9-year convenience.  [/quote]

So it seems.  But we even went on trips together, without kids or husbands.  It was a pretty time-intensive convenience if that's what it was![/quote]
