[quote=Anonymous]I’m that mom. A lot of it is social anxiety. Overthinking everything and getting overwhelmed. Add in that over the years, I’ve invited dozens of moms to hang out or tried to arrange play dates, and the vast majority say no, or they’ll drop their kids off, leave, and never reciprocate. My DD has similar problems with fitting in. She finally found one friend, and they spend a LOT of time together, but it’s all initiated by me and I have to do all of the driving. The friend’s mom has literally never dropped her DD off or picked her up from my house, I have to go get her. It’s really frustrating but I’m willing to do it for my DD. I’ve tried arranging times for our families to hang out but the mom bails most of the time. So add up all these people who flake, coupled with social anxiety, and it’s really hard to keep putting yourself out there. [/quote]
