[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were in elementary there wasn't any reason for the other parent to be present at playdates.  I don't expect to host another adult and I wouldn't put that on another adult either if they were hosting my child.
My kids are in high school now.  I have some solid mom friends but they were slow to develop.  Just like college, the friendships that last are the ones that grew with you without expectations. One is from preschool days and I swear we never had time to develop a friendship until the kids were more independent.  What's funny is that the kids were tight in preschool but as they are different genders they are wary of each other in high school now whereas his mom and I love to get together to run and gossip about school. Another mom from elementary school - our kids weren't friends then but our orbits continued the same direction and the friendship slowly developed.  When she was going thru her divorce, I was her friend thru it. Our kids have become friends too. Another mom friend from preschool as well and we support each other in our career expansion and fervently hope our boys will be friends again because they did have a great friendship.  A couple of mom friends from before we had children are in the mix. 
That said, I get together with each one maybe about once a month sometimes longer.  We are all busy, so we either meet up for a run, meet for lunch during the workday if in proximity.  A dinner party is a serious effort but sometimes we manage that.[/quote]
