[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just flummoxed that people consider time socializing with acquaintances from a child’s preschool family time. One of us takes the kid/kids and then we have actual quality family time. Socializing with people we barely know while the kids play is not marital or family time and is certainly not a relief after the work week. Just one perspective as people plan these parties-many people consider them to be a bore and a chore. [/quote] I agree once the kids are older, but for preschool when we had just one we would sometimes both go to get to get to know the other parents. Some of these people now are good friends because of the effort DH and I both put in during those years, including at parties. And parties at home like OP is describing were the best for this, because often the adults had separate food and adult drinks, which encouraged them to hang out together and socialize. [/quote]
