[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I extend to you many hugs. As well as a most sincerely offered virtual gift basket. I think it’s a mismatch in kids’ ages. Plus maybe marital tension due to new kids. Or maybe financial stress, due to housing costs, if you live anywhere near DC. Maybe they don’t have $$$$ to furnish their new homes nicely. Who knows why they don’t feel like they’re in a place where they can reciprocate. If your kids are still young, I would focus on school as a great place to meet fellow parents. And if you are so inclined, continue to welcome new neighbors to your development. That’s just the right thing to do. [/quote] +1 You sound like a nice neighbor OP and wish our own neighbors were so friendly. I'm guessing your gesture was really appreciated and agree with this PP that the kids' ages are just too different. Your children are at an age where they should be making friends in the neighborhood themselves and biking and walking around without your help so things will change OP. By the time my kids were about 8-9 but most definitely by 10 they were making their own plans and I would just tell them to be back at a certain time.[/quote]
