[quote=Anonymous]In elementary school there were a lot of invite-the-whole-class birthday parties at various kinds of play places, and maybe a play date per month or so with one or more of the closest 3-4 friends.

As far as the parents, we got to know the parents of those 3-4 kid besties well and are still good friends with one of them even though are kids aren’t really friends anymore (drifted apart in the ensuing 7-8 years and two school changes). We could chat socially quite easily with several other parents at school events or bday parties, but really didn’t do more than smile and nod and say hello to about half the parents in the class.

You will know the parents less and less as your kid gets older because there are fewer school events that require parental attendance and fewer kid parties that need parents to stay and supervise, and therefore chat.

By 5th, DD would come home asking if she could go over to so-and-so’s house after school on Friday, or could so-and-so come over on Saturday, and I would just text the appropriate parent to work out the details.

Then the pandemic hit and everything went to hell, so there’s that. [/quote]
