[quote=Anonymous]I have two teens in high school and a child in elementary school. We have had many rounds of family friends each step of the way. Now my oldest is 17. I now separate my adult friendships with my children’s. There is a small window where parent relationships do matter but once kids are 10 and up, they make their own friends. I do not hang out with any parents WITH my teens. Even the parents I have known since elementary, we are definitely friendly but we aren’t doing family vacations together. I do take my teen’s friends with us sometimes on weekend trips. My teens have gone with friends to beach house or ski. Separately, we do have some family friends we made when those teens were toddlers, preschool or very early elementary. The kids aren’t really friends anymore but we will occasionally get together.[/quote]
