[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img] OP[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your neighborhood/E.S. feeder area is toxic.  I'd consider moving.  At the same time, you work full-time with 2 young kids.  You're in the working mom grind.  The chummy moms are usually the ones who don't work and have time for 10am coffee or park meet ups.  You need to see a mom regularly, outside of school, to build a friendship.  To get to that point, you obviously have to see them outside of school a bit.  It's hard.  Try connecting with working school moms, and coworkers.  Invite people over for dinner or drinks.  As for your husband, I think he's doomed.  He will need you to provide buddies.[/quote]

I would not invite coworkers over for dinner and drinks, but that’s just me. I
prefer to be friendly with my coworkers, but I don’t want them to be the type of friends I invite into my home. [/quote]

Same. Do not mix work with friendships. Bad idea. [/quote]

Yep, I also don’t mix work people with my spouse. None of them have ever met my spouse and I prefer that. [/quote]

Completely disagree! This is yet another example of why people complain about loneliness. It’s okay not to invite people inside your home until you are close. But not to form any friendships with work people or ever seen them outside of work is extreme. I’m skeptical that people who are so rigid have good solid professional networks as well. [/quote]

I keep my work and personal/family lives completely separate and I have lots of friends and a healthy professional network.[/quote]
