[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In any case, the PP who said siblings don't solve the socialization issue was right. Siblings are great in many ways, but it's not the same as playing with peers you aren't related to. Birth order dynamics and family quirks make those relationships fundamentally different (sometimes better, sometimes worse).

No one wants neighborhood friends more than the kid who isn't getting along with their sibling, btw.[/quote]

Then go where the kids are. At after school activities. You can't have your cake and eat it too.[/quote]

I don't know who you think you are arguing with. I'm fine with after school activities and don't care if there are neighborhood kids around for y kids to play with. Mine go to aftercare because that's where their friends are. I was just agreeing with the PP who pointed out that having siblings isn't some magic bullet that ends the need for your kids to make friends.[/quote]

It certainly goes a long way. Bored kids who have nobody to play with will figure it out, isn't that what the anti schedulers are arguing? Yet they can't even get their own kids to get along? Whatever.[/quote]
