[quote=Anonymous]My parents had a group of friends and were big into socializing, maybe a bit too much. There were lots of parties, bbq, Nascar watching, and weekend dinners. We would spend a lot of weekends at a friend's home and the adults would drink and eat. It would mostly rotate on the weekends who would host. We lived in a very rural area and so most of the homes had many acres and there were at least 2 kids in each family, so we spent a great deal outside as kids or playing in the house if it was too cold. I remember always falling asleep on the drive home because it seemed like we would be out so late. We were poor so we didn't do week long vacations. Instead my parents would camp on the weekends with their friends. The ages of the children spanned +/- 5 years but we alll mostly got along and would play together. It was great. I wish that I had more time to do the same but I feel that we're too busy. They never were friends with my friends parents, but would make small chat.

I find myself interacting with other parents of my child's classmates, but I really find myself more in survival mode at this time in my life. [/quote]
