[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for gods sakes, just go to a social event every once in a while. your time is not so precious that you can't do two or three one hour social events with your neighbors every year [/quote]

Actually, my time is that precious. I am not wasting time I could spend with my kids. I work a lot. My time is for me and my family. That is it. I don’t do neighbor events. [/quote]

Your kids are part of the neighborhood, are they not? [/quote]

No. They go to a private school. We don’t to neighborhood stuff. I grew up in a rural area. I hate the suburbs. No kids their age anyway. We have our own friends. [/quote]

So…you picked a house in a location you hate where it seems you spent zero effort to see if there were kids of similar age (a pretty common thing to do…or you look for couples that seem like they also are ready to start a family)…did you also make sure it feeds into a bad school district and is located next to a garbage dump?[/quote]

No, FCPS sucks. We pulled our kids out. I am also divorced and there are two houses in very nice neighborhoods. We are not interested in judgy and annoying neighbors. We also have very serious and time-consuming extracurriculars EVERY DAY. There is zero time for nonsense. When we moved to the first neighborhood when kids were 1 and 4, there were ZERO kids in the neighborhood. Most people had kids launched already. [/quote]

Serious extracurriculars EVERY DAY? No time for nonsense? I feel terrible for you and your children—what a life. A daily dose of nonsense is what everyone needs for their mental health. [/quote]

Dude, if you have one kid in swim (practices 2-3 times a week, meets on at least one weekend day) and one in soccer (practices 2-3 times a week, games most weekends, tournaments that can take multiple days) there goes your whole week. If your kid also plays an instrument, or does any school clubs, or scouts, or you have more than two kids...

You're on a parenting board. This shouldn't be foreign to you. [/quote]
