[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't do playdates. No matter how many times you ask, we'll be busy. [b]You should deal only with overprogramming busybodies like yourself, all other parents will fall short in one way or another.[[/b]/quote] :lol: [/quote] How is finding time for kids to play with their friends in an unstructured way "overprogramming"? Overprogramming IMO is having a different extracurricular activity 6 days a week so your kid has no time to just play. We place a high value on our kids developing good social skills and so keeping time in our life for play and friends is more important than doing lots of sports or classes. Similarly, I make time to see my own friends for my own emotional well being and to model to my kids that it is an important part of life. If you don't think it's important for your child to have friends, do you not have friends either?[/quote]
