[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm...my child is an introvert and I would tell him (for example) we're going apple picking with friends.  I think it's okay to do that within reason and being respectful of their needs to have down time.

And to expand on this thought.  You are the adult and she is the child.  You can take a ski trip with friends and make sure she has her own room to retreat to and you fully support her in doing this.  It's really okay if your preferences are sometimes taken into consideration or even win out.[/quote]

+1 I'm an introvert, and DH is even more so, so traveling with friends is not something we ever do but other activities with friends we definitely do but being mindful of everyone's limits. In fact, as introverts who had difficulties socializing when we were little, we really prioritized making time for friends and encouraging playdates for our kids (we have a 2nd child who is very much an extrovert). We do go on a big trip with my parents and siblings every summer and look for a house where DD (now a teen) can have her own space.[/quote]
