[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with some PPs that the boys sport thing is weird. I had a couple of moms that were all about setting up playdates with my sporty son when we were on the same sport teams, and then once he began taking piano and chess avoided us like the plague. It is weird because they still play on the same sports teams!  [/quote]

Find this very hard to believe [/quote]

I believe it but doubt it's as directly related as the PP suspects. Like probably parents are not like "oh no that boy plays chess and piano now, we can't associate with them."

I think a lot of parents instinctively prefer parent friends who validate their choices. So when a parent starts making different choices, for any reason, it creates distance because now you aren't validating their choices with your choices. There also may be logistical challenges if you can't just rely on having identical schedules because your kids are in al the same activities, and people get lazy and don't want to have to accommodate your kid's chess and piano schedules.
