[quote=Anonymous] I am an introvert who belongs to a culture where hospitality and invitations are extended to all, and then you have to reciprocate. Doing just that level of socializing means that you have a whirlwind of activities around you. It also means that you are making friends with people from different age-groups, different life-stages, different SESs and you learn to be perfectly comfortable with them. But, I am thinking that you mean how to cultivate friendships with people your age-group, similar parental status (young kids), similar SES etc? I think you have to make things easy not difficult for parents. You have to do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of finding events and activities, inviting people, keeping food simple (lets all pay for pizza and icecream). Be ok with a slightly dumpy house etc. Being flexible. Be the parent meetups coordinator. If friendships stick - great. If not - your kids have learned from you how to be social coordinators etc. [/quote]
