[quote=Anonymous]OP: One more piece of advice. I have an 8th grader and 5th grader. My social life no longer revolves around theirs. Start spending your time with the friends YOU CHOOSE. I think by default, when our kids are young we end up socializing with the parents of their friends. This break is an opportunity for you too to reconnect to friend you haven't seen in a while and foster friendships with people you really connect with. Invite someone to coffee or to lunch. Don't restrict yourself to other parents at your kids' school. By the time they hit middles school you hardly know the parents of their friends (at least a large public MS). Privates may be different, but I still think you'd be wise to make your own friendships and not restrict yourself to those that enrolled at the same school. [/quote]
