[quote=Anonymous]Do you have only one child?

I find it harder to line up all the kids when kids get older. We moved with a toddler, second grader and fourth grader. My older kids made many friends at their new elementary school but every single play date was drop off. A play date invitation is no longer a mom and child invitation.

My kids were/are in Scouts and this is where we spent time with other parents frequently. I know my DH got along with other dads during Cub Scout camping trips and outings. I’m friendly/friends with some Scout parents even after they stopped doing scouts. My daughter is still on Girl Scouts and I am friends with other moms.

The reason I say it is hard to line up kids is that another family may not want to hang out with you if only one of their kids is having a good time. They may have a toddler or middle school student as well. It isn’t like when kids are young where the parents can hang and all the kids can go play in the play room.

We know lots of families from sports, pool, chess club, science olympiad, orchestra, band, field trips, birthday parties and all the times we have seen one another over the years. Except one family where both parents click with other parents, we don’t hang out as a family with any other families the way you want. We do sit together at the pool, carpool and we probably look very friendly if you saw us because we are.

That being said, I have made a few new friends this year from my kids’ schools. None of the kids are friends. I will have lunch or dinner with moms but kids are not included. [/quote]
