[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are 2 separate things: Friends for you. Friends for your child. Do not approach this combining the two. It could happen, it's nice when it happens, but don't approach it this way. Your kid likes another kid, you work to make that friendship happen. With zero expectations re: your own friendship needs. You want to make friends? There's no magic short-cut. Work at it. For yourself. Yes you are likely to each discuss your kids, some. But respect that your kid deserves their privacy. Your kid is a social animal independent from you. Finding topics to talk about with other women, other than the specifics about your kid, will create a stronger friendship that lasts longer than other "situational" acquaintances.[/quote]
