[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are things that happen-

Moms who are friends arrange things among themselves. They aren’t thinking about other kids.

Moms who are friends often exchange favors - rides, outings - so when plans are made they are often returning a favor and so the circle of kids is going to be again confined to the mom’s friends kids

Some kids are so obnoxious that moms who out up with these kids in elementary thinking the kids would grow out of it, finally out there foot down and say no more to hosting that kid

Some moms will only host or make plans with kids who live within a certain driving distance

My kids make their own friends. My kids do often hang out more frequently with the kids doing the same activities and ones we carpool with. This is driven by my kids’ friendships and not my own.

This is a tween/teen forum. The mom friendships may have driven kid friendships in preschool and early elementary but this is definitely not the case in middle and high school.

In my experience, a lot of kids excel or drop sports and activities around age 10-11. If your kid isn’t good at soccer or gymnastics or loses interest in scouts, the mom can’t force the kid just because the moms are friends. Friendships are driven by the kids.[/quote]
