[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand wanting downtime away from peers on weeknights and weekends, but to not even have a friend you want to celebrate your birthday with?? Seems off to me…[/quote] She apparently places a high value on her scarce alone time. Kids go through different phases and it's perfectly normal for some kids to go through a period of years where they just don't want to socialize that much beyond what they have to endure 6+ hours a day. They can and do grow up to be perfectly normal adults who do socialize. DCUM parents have an odd preoccupation with how popular and social their kids are K-12, and are irrationally terrified of any deviation from what they think is the norm. If this kid has siblings then there is even less to worry about![/quote]
