[quote=Anonymous]so our DD has a circle of friends at school she has known since kindergarten, and at least from her self report they are her best friends and she often plays with them at recess and aftercare.

it seems that her circle of friends are often having playdates at each others houses but DD has never been invited (and these are group playdates not just each other).  there is some parental gulf to bridge, since most of her friends have moms who work part time, and we are dual full-time working parents (so we don't tend to hang out after school pickup like they can or have that mom-to-mom bonding).

so my first impulse is to try and host some playdates, but are have had people over and never been reciprocated and not sure if we step it up if it will be?

is or problem that we aren't mom friends with these moms, and having those part-time or SAH mom lunches or coffees where these plans can hatch? or perhaps our daughter who is a bit brash is just not that close to her friends as she thinks? or as a playdate guest the parents find her tiring (though i wish folks would tell us if she is a poor guest).

so is it possible we have some behavioral issues with our DD making real friends and behaving at other's houses or is it just a mom group thing that we are outside of b/c we just are at work when they are making plans and connections?[/quote]
