[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to work on the friend thing. My kids (11 and 13) would greatly prefer to hang with a friend than me dragging to a destination where its the same faces they see everyday- is there anyway to meet local people? Kids are old enough to know what they want.[/quote]

Have been working on it for 15 years. Hasn't happened.[/quote]Maybe the people where you live have figured out you think their way of life isn’t “normal” and took offense. [/quote]

That would be pretty impressive, seeing as I work 60 hours a week from my house and literally never interact with them.[/quote]

Please, we figured out your snobbery in one line over the internet.  They know.  [/quote]

I. Have. Never. Met. A. Single. Person. Here.

Get over yourself.[/quote]

Np, haven’t commented before, but how is this possible? My family moved from DC to a very rural area when I was eight. My parents met people through my school, through local organizations that they joined, and simply from running errands etc. How can you live somewhere for 15 years and not meet anyone? That sounds like a you problem, As my tween would say.[/quote]

I work from home. We don't leave our cars for school dropoff and pickup, so obviously you can't meet people that way. My husband isn't social, so anything we do together like church, we're in and out. There literally aren't opportunities. I have tried volunteer work, but I'm not able to make commitments with DH's schedule. [/quote]

OP, my kids have managed to get playdates when the parent of a classmate sends a note in with their kid, who hands it to mine.  If you want to connect, you'll find ways.  You've made it abundantly clear you have no interest in doing so, which sounds miserable.  It's hard to know where to even start with suggestions for travel, but then why are you soliciting suggestions from "crabs"?[/quote]
