[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Move to my neighborhood. (Capitol Hill.) Last night my DD came inside to finish her dinner, which she'd been eating on the patio, because "We have NO privacy!" A bunch of neighboring kids had been talking/trying to play with her and she wanted to eat in peace![/quote] Yes, i was going to suggest this as well. Do you live in the city, OP? It might be a great idea to move if you can. I live in AU Park and 90% of kids' friends and classmates live within a square mile or two. By age 10 or so, my kids were biking independently to friends' houses (plus there are about 10 kids on our block). [b]Also, MANY families have one kid. Much higher rate of only children than in the suburbs. [/b]So there are lots of families/kids who are looking for playmates. [/quote] I'm the PP with the 7yo, and while we live in a different DC neighborhood, this has been our experience too. Having an only child really seems NBD here.[/quote]
