[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS started private in MS. I don’t really know the other parents well. It was tough because we started so late in the game. We now know 3 other parents well enough to be comfortable at school events. The rest of the parents are all friendly but it’s more just pleasantries. We don’t socialize with the other parents outside school but my son is very happy there and has made lots of friends. Ultimately his friendships are more important than ours. We have friends from any other places. [/quote]

I understand where you’re coming from as a parent of a middle school kid myself, but OP has a little kid in preK. When our kid was that young we also expected to get our friend group from her classmates parents. It would have been disappointing if we couldn’t!

Now of course, we have our own friends and our 7th grader has hers. We are just cordial to her friends’ parents but don’t socialize with them out of school functions. But yes, we had different expectations when she was little.[/quote]
