[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's up to you how you feel about the pool.  
Issues at the pool will change now as the girls start getting on all their different growth tracks.
[b]My 13 DS is the introvert. We bring a book.[/b] I tell him we have to come to the pool for his extroverted brother.  Because otherwise the extrovert would drive us crazy needing us.
Are there other siblings?
But, I agree that I like Sunday afternoons and evenings at the pool.  Ours also runs an August only membership. Would a part-time pool work for you?[/quote]

I think there's a difference between being an introvert and having social anxiety or feeling like you don't fit in.  It's one thing if a kid is happy to entertain themselves with a book quite another when they like they don't belong socially.[/quote]

Not on this board. its ALWAYS conflated.
I'm married to a very classically introverted DH. he's not shy, he's not socially awkward, he doesn't have anxiety and he actually does like being in groups of friends for various activities- he just also needs more downtime and alone time to unwind than I would ever need. Introvert and extrovert are often used as almost cartoonish labels nowadays! [/quote]
