[quote=Anonymous]We moved when my kids were in 2nd and 4th grade. My older child was never invited to do activities with others. Instead, he joined activities he liked and made friends there. My younger much more social son was invited to play dates, sports teams, parties, etc instantly in second grade. They are teenagers now and have wonderful friend groups that have nothing to do with me. I also have a daughter who was in preschool. Those friendships were often based on moms. In kindergarten, I became friends with several moms. The moms I like as adult friends and the kids my child gravitates towards are not always the same. In fact, the two girls my dd likes most have very annoying moms. Point is that mom friends don’t necessarily dictate your child’s friends. Some few magically do align but these don’t last after age 10 or so.[/quote]
