[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP that you and perhaps many of us have this ideal of what we think our social life will be like post marriage and kids. People tell us we'll make friends at the playground, once our kids start school, through team sports. And yet many of us try and never end up having a group, maybe we have some acquaintances and if we're lucky a couple close friends. But then we see that there are people for whom those things are true - they made a circle of close friends from their kids preschool or soccer team. It feels like we did the same things but without the same results. I can't tell you, OP, why it works for some and not others. For some it may be luck, for others it may be someone being the social connector and glue, etc. My oldest is now in college and I never found a group. I'm thankful for the individual friendships I've made and sustained along the way (and a couple were moms of my kids' former friends even) and that we have a few couples who we get along with but have accepted that the only "groups" of friends I have are from undergrad, grad school, and church from different years and locations (not my current one).
