[quote=Anonymous]I just accepted it. I decided that building a community was more important to me than making sure everything was "fair", and that I would have to do 90+% of the initiations. The biggest thing for me was realizing social planning almost always falls on moms, and expecting moms to add one more thing to their already too long to-do list was just going to hold all of us back. I decided not to hold it against moms when dads also never reciprocate. What's helped me a LOT is organizing group activities rather than playdates at home. Basically I plan out what events we're going to do that weekend, then invite everyone I know along. If nobody comes, or if people flake, NBD. We still have a fun event to go to. We also do a ton of group playground playdates. I don't have to worry about what my house looks like or if it'll get trashed.[/quote]
