[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest and take the backlash:
My kids friends (under 5, so that is relevant) are largely children of my friends. Whether we were friends first, or I encouraged friendships versus others because i had something in common with the parent.
[b]At this age, the kids play and I talk to the parent.[/b] 
[b]I am not coming over to your house and hanging out with your husband for a couple hours. I'm sure he's very nice and a great guy/father, but I'm just not making small talk with him in your kitchens over coffee and muffins.

This. Im sorry but i will also add that its creepy.[/quote]

Huh?  how?  [/quote]

Yes, I am not hanging out in your house basically alone with your husband in your kitchen making small talk for a couple hours while the kids play in the playroom on the second floor.
That's really and truly great that you would not only be awesome in that situation but actually choose to do it on a semi regular basis, but some people are not.
Acting confused about why that could be awkward is ridiculous.[/quote]

Awkward is not the same thing as creepy, though.  I can see how it would be awkward for some people.  But saying it's creepy is way out of line.  Would it also be creepy to hang out with a lesbian mom in that situation?[/quote]
