[quote=Anonymous]I echo what some pp’s have said: kids seem to spend time together in MS based on common activities. For example my MS son spends a lot of time with kids from his travel sports team (some of who go to the same school but are not his closest friends)- and less time with his closest friends from school (who play different sports or are into different activities). Hearing about weekend plans or seeing pics on social media- one might think he is close with these teammates or that we are close with the parents. Dinners or activities together etc.  This is really not the case. Just friendly acquaintances thrown together. DS and his closest friends from school occasionally get together but all tend to be busy with their respective sports and activities.

Proximity also can play a role…my middle school DD often has get last minute get togethers or carpools etc with a few friends that live close to us (walking distance or &lt; 5min drive). For these last minute get togethers, other friends are sometimes not invited as it really complicates the plans. Some live 20+min away and carpooling is more of a challenge.
