[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I have two teens (one NT) and both complain no one makes plans and the plans they do make are so last minute, people bail, don’t have rides, etc… I feel like ages 8th to sophomore are the worse. Once they get a few friends that can drive it gets better.

If you do know the parents it isn’t wrong to get in touch here or there. You can also plan a few day trips.

I am definitely the planner mom and the driver. It can be a lot but I’m really trying to do old school face to face hangs outs. [/quote]

OP here. I meant to comment that I appreciated this perspective very much as well as the fact that his friends are also not great planners. I am very much similar and that I want kids to hang out in person. Not every day but enough, and I have flexibility and am willing to cart kids it that’s what it takes.

This is all really helpful in me, aka helping my son to communicate more concrete plans that at least people can react to, as well as offering some of the support logistics off the bat vs just saying to him that I can give a ride or whatever [/quote]
