[quote=Anonymous]I think the ideal situation is to make friends when your kids are very little (K or younger) but with moms your kids won’t ultimately go to school with. As you get past lower ES, the kid relationships become too important and it doesn’t matter that Susie is your BFF if her kid is mean to yours or your kid has outgrown the friendship. But if you’re at different schools it’s muted, and the kids are probably fine for family get togethers, etc. But I also think that (maybe outside of a new moms group?), the intensity of exposure to others is just so much lower than in other settings where you’re trying to make friends (college) that it takes much longer to make really close friends. So, be patient![/quote]
