[quote=Anonymous]I think there has to be a balance and if you love where you're living, don't move.  Use the extra time in your week you save by not commuting far to get together with friends in other neighborhoods in the evenings if you can.  We have met the people we like in our neighborhood just running into them at the same kinds of events we like to go to, even if it's as simple as going to the park in the evening after dinner.

The playdate thing is hard, but it's really good for you to start modeling early how to check someone who's behaving badly.  Your child is going to need those skills in this area for sure, and the more you demonstrate that it doesn't have to be awkward to say, "we don't act/talk that way in our house," the more confident your own child will be in sticking up for themselves.  Yes, it does seem like you have to parent other children but try to keep in mind that you're doing it for your own child.  It demonstrates consistency and also that these norms are something that are important to you in everyone.  Over time you will find people who agree![/quote]
