[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is so weird. OP, disregard this weirdo. This is not typical and not all of those 20 families are really true friends. [/quote]

It’s pretty normal for many families. Not sure why this is so upsetting for you. You’re the weird one. Worry about yourself ,the OP is asking how to get closer to other families. [/quote]

This is really not that typical. Glad it works for all of you
