[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I've initiated one-on-one get togethers/smaller hangouts, and those were fun, but I got discouraged when they weren't reciprocated. I can definitely try that again, though.

Re: the point about once kids hitting early elementary age, things get easier, I can see why that's true. However, I think that's part of my frustration, in that I felt like in the back of my mind that once DD went to Kindergarten, things would improve as there would be more people to met. However, thus far, the other families in DDs class aren't really interested in connecting.

Re: being patient, I certainly understand that this doesn't happen overnight. At the same time, it's been two years of living in this neighborhood and being exposed to this social circle, and I just worry that, at some point, this just isn't going to happen for us. Perhaps this is anecdotical, but I do worry that the older kids get, the less likely other parents are going to be open to new friendships. [/quote]

Possibly. Kids plan their own things as they get older. You hardly even meet the parents of your kids' friends. Your desire for "family friends" is valid. It sounds like you want to do exactly what your parents had and what you had because of the friendships they had. But you may never get [i]that[/i] type of a social life.[/quote]
