[quote=Anonymous]I have not read all the comments here but I think it will start to improve as your kids get older. I would look around at all the events from the outside when my kid started at a new school in K and wonder why we were not in the mix.

Now that my kid is in 8th I realize that what I was looking at were families with older kids who had more history. They were pretty insular...now that the kids are older I've become friends with some of them and one said she didn't bother to really extend herself when her youngest (my DD's friend) was in pK/K because for a lot of families it's a transient time so she wasn't sure who was staying or going. I think for others they had that "group" so they weren't going to jeopardize their spot by bringing in an unknown.

What helped was finding other new families who were also looking for friends, and being proactive. It takes time, you'll get there! It is kind of ridiculous, though, we are all adults so I'm a more then merrier person but have realized not everyone is.
