[quote=Anonymous]Your older daughter is getting very close to the age where parents being friends won’t matter as much. Do you invite her friends over? Have birthday parties? If not start there. I have a 4th grader and I invite over the people she likes. There are a very small number of people who I will invite over the whole family but even then it can be tricky with multiple kids with the ages not lining up or whatever. You mainly just want to register as a friend for the parents at that age but the kids can figure out their own friendships mostly. For your younger one so simple play dates with the two kids she talks about or the teacher recommends. That’s enough at that age and you don’t have time to invest in extras. Plan a nice birthday party and invite the whole class to meet everyone and maybe you will hit it off with someone. But basically: make an effort, be friendly and don’t talk all the time about how busy you are![/quote]
