[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advise from an older woman: do everything in your power to keep close to your old friends. You will need them as touchstones and support later. “Mom friends” can become true friends but generally they are fleeting and mercurial. You’ll have to believe me on this. [/quote] Kids drift apart. Families move. Parents get divorced. Some kids play baseball. Others go to a different school because they are gifted. Or they choose private school. I would not drop my real friends in attempts to make mom friends. [/quote] +1 I let my kids pick their own friends. I always have. It's a skill they need to learn. I never befriended moms of kids unless we really had a lot in common. Yes, I was friendly at games and when I saw them, but I have friends of my own that I've known for years that I don't see enough of. I disagree that makes you a good parent to join some inner circle of moms. It's cliquey and superficial. [/quote]
