[quote=Anonymous]I have elementary kids and I do not socialize with acquaintances from their school. I most socialize with friends I had from before kids (though many of them also have kids now). And I spend a lot more time alone than I used to. Which I like. I feel like my time at work and with my kids is a lot of people asking me for things, needing me to be "on" in a specific way. I relish just being on my own and having no one demanding my attention at all. No way would I engage in multiple friend dates a week at this stage of life (maybe when I'm retired) and I definitely don't have the time or energy for hanging out with people I only know a little, because our kids go to school together or something. I can be friendly and pleasant when I see them at school or kid activities -- I have nothing against them. But I'm not trying to make friends right now. I have enough friends and I'm very busy and tired.[/quote]
