[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have about 20 families we are close with. Initiate group dinners at family friendly places is a good one to get the parents involved. I’ll text our baseball team and say “anyone want to meet for Pizza” after practice especially if it’s a Friday or Sat/Sun. Usually half the team goes. I met most when the kids were babies in our neighborhood though. The ones I am close with after is by being helpful or offering to share carpools for activities. [/quote]

If you're CLOSE with 20 families how many are acquaintances?[/quote]

We have about the same acquaintances. The 20 families are people I talk to on a regular basis and we travel with on overnight trips with their families every year, it’s 4 separate trips. [/quote]

you travel overnight with 20 different families over the course of an average year?  I call bullshit unless it's travel sports.[/quote]

Not travel sports, we have know the families for over 7 years. [/quote]

you have been going on four trips a year with a combined 20 families and have been doing this with those same families for 7 years.  is that what you're saying?  that would be weird AF if it were true, but it isn't true.  these aren't informal "friend" trips -- they are some kind of organized activity for the kids, which is not the same thing at all[/quote]

We got every year to the same beach, get 3 houses next to each other with one group for 4 nights. 5 years. 7 families

Do a couples weekend to a different location with 8 couples.

We go to one’s ski house with 4 families a long weekend.

I do a girls trip with 13 of the moms every year for 3-4 nights. An overnight at a spa hotel and we have done a few longer.

we travel with our own family most of the time and with friends who don’t have any kid overlap.  [/quote]
