[quote=Anonymous]We are friendly and helpful but I would not consider the parents of my child's friends my friends. We text with one another to sort out logistics, corrobate details and/or solicit feedback. The exception would be those families whom we have been friends with since preschool/ early elementary, which I can count on one hand. Many of them are like our own family, where we pet sit, take one another's kids for a week, etc. The kids are still close and so I think that has been why we are like this. The truth is it is hard to find parent-child combos you both like and have time to nurture those relationships. DH and I have several friendships outside of our kids' lives which we hold dear and also make one-on-one time a priority as a preview of what to expect when we are empty nesters. I don't feel the need to get into the minutae of DD's school experience as she's a good kid overall, an excellent student, and is very communicative with us. [/quote]
