[quote=Anonymous]Agree with all the responses- OP you are getting actual helpful and relatively kind advice here. It’s a DCUM miracle! My oldest was eventually diagnosed with SN and taking her anywhere as a toddler was nerve wracking- would there be a scene? Would I forget some important stuffed animal or key thing and disaster would ensue?  I just wanted to enjoy my time with my kid because I didn’t have as much as I wanted when she was little and sleeping a lot and work was less flexible. I didn’t want to deal with all of that. When I had my second and I could be one of those parents who actually talked to the adults in a social setting it was a lot more fun. My husband was often able to enjoy things more because I’d be “on duty” unless we had planned differently. Take a look at what’s actually happening. But mostly if she’s happy respect that. I am literally friends with zero of the families of parents from my oldest child’s preschool years. You are not missing out.

Also, my husband often clicks more with a dad that is married to a mom that I don’t click with especially. It’s fine! Better honestly, for you to have your own friends. Go to the events and chat with other dads and offer to meet up at the playground some weekend morning. For whatever reason dad playdates are often at playground or museums or sporting events rather than just at home. It’s super easy and remember people like being invited to do things![/quote]
