[quote=Anonymous]Another SAHM here: I used to organize play dates but they are just so exhausting. I take my youngest to the park sometimes and he may play with the kids or sometimes just climb trees on his own, but he's introverted like myself and I don't feel the need to push it. OTOH, a couple down the street just suggested a playdate to see a movie, which I know doesn't count because they're watching, not playing, but so what? Why does everything around here have to be so fraught? When I grew up in the 70s/80s, we just hung out. Sometimes friendships gelled. Other times not so much. (Yes I had my youngest way into my 40s and 50 is just months away) Since helicopter parenting doesn't work, why not let it go? Go to the park and see what your child wants to do. Observe the playground at lunch or after school one day and see the kids and games your child enjoys. My advice: relax, be yourself and let your child do the same. It'll all be O.K.[/quote]
