[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that's part of why I try to do pickup occasionally even though I WOHM. That's how parents exchange information, and get comfortable with families so playdates are more likely to get made.  If they see you, they'll be more likely to invite you to gatherings (particularly for younger kids, where relationships are sometimes parent driven.)  But if you don't want to, it's not obligatory.[/quote]

I want to but we keep things pretty tight and are not super social. We like family life and not too many complications. I would attend so my child could attend but I would never host a gathering in my house or anything - that would be a nightmare for me. Also, my kids are in mid elementary grades and when they were younger I tried to do a couple playdates with moms and found them dreadful talking to the moms.

But we've moved to a new neighborhood so I guess I'm a little more open so that is why I was wondering if I should or not. [/quote]

It sounds like you don’t like people.  [/quote]
