[quote=Anonymous]We met some very close family friends at the park when our oldest kids were 3. We set up playdates at parks at first. I have never had real relationships catch on with caregivers or grandparents. A mom of older kids told me once that she was giving her number out all over town when her oldest was little. It took a lot of tries and fails to make connections and find friends, but it worked. That made me feel better and more able to put myself out there. There is an ease sometimes with connecting with someone else with your same background, ethnicity or language that makes us value that for ourselves and our kids, and when it feels like rejection it makes it hurt worse. I have been there and I totally get it op. We are an Asian American family. [/quote]
