[quote=Anonymous]This is common with friendships that are based on shared activities where people come together due to common circumstances. This happens in work environments, too. When people change jobs, the friendship often fades. I'm not saying it's impossible to building lasting friendships from these circumstances, but I think what OP is experiencing is the norm. I don't think this is necessarily intentional or about you, OP. People don't necessarily make socializing or friendships a priority because daily life is pretty demanding. Parenting can seem like an endless to-do list, and often people are just trying to keep their heads above water.

I don't think situational friendships are necessarily bad, even if they are just temporary. Parents often spend their evenings and weekends at their kids' activities. If you are going to be at your kid's dance competitions every weekend, it makes it a little more enjoyable to share laughs or have some camaraderie with other parents in the same situation.
