[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree op. I’m a parent of an only and I can never get a play date. Everyone is always too busy. My son plays a sport each season and does karate, but it’s not the same as kids getting together at a house and playing.  I’m about to look for an only child support group to see if any other parents want to set up play dates. I’ve also considered maybe the parents don’t want to hang with me or my son which has given me a complex as well. [/quote]

We have a variety of parenting/activity types in our neighborhood. We have friends that it is hard to set up a play date because their kids are super busy. We have friends where it is easy, spur of the moment text because the kids are only doing one activity. (shrugs)

I can't wait for DS to be a few years older and we can let him range a bit farther on his own because it will open up a few more options.

Maybe it is our friend base but we have a standing play date on Friday (and it really is more play then play date but it is scheduled because it is easy for the parents and kids) and tend to be able to find a friend to have over on the weekend pretty easily.[/quote]
