[quote=Anonymous]I think most of the "gulf" is in your head, at least as far as the school families go. Just keep inviting friends over if your daughter enjoys playing with them. We probably host easily 80% of my 2 younger elementary dc playdates, b/c I set them up. Do I sit around wondering why people don't reciprocate? No, b/c who knows what is going on in someone else's life. If the kids enjoy each other's company, who cares who invites who? (As far as the b-ball team goes, there might be a distance there if *all* the other families are involved in volunteering/coaching and you are the only family that "mooches"-not sure if that is the case without more info). If your children play in a rec sports type league, there is an unwritten expectation that at some season, some time, one of the parents will step up to coach, assistant coach, be the snack organizer parent, do the lines for soccer, etc. [/quote]
