[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like all friendships they wax and wane.

The closest friendship I have is one where our kids never really clicked or hung out with each other. I met her on the sideline of a game about 18 years ago and we are close friends.

The next 2, our kids were in school together, they played sport but they were never close friends.

Only 1 friendship from my son's "friends' group" I still keep in touch with, more like and acquaintance than a friendship but she is a friend since I see her at least once a month, somewhere on the cusp.

All of these friendships started in K-3rd. Our kids are 24 now. I did not make any friendships with my son's friend from HS.

I have a friend from grade school, HS and college.

None of them intersect with the 1st group.

I can't manage more than 3 close friends and some long distance ones.

One thing that matters is you try, you reach out, you plan things. Then when they don't respond or reciprocate, you move on. [/quote]

Same. All mom friends were from elementary days or preschool. I had situational HS friends—sports team but never had time to bond. We all worked or didn’t live close and everyone was way too busy with multiple kids. Private HS. Most of the mom friends are in my neighborhood and from when kids used to do play dates or we hung at school parties, early rec basketball , soccer, etc [/quote]
