[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people, especially parents, are just full up in terms of time, attention, and executive function to the point that planning social stuff is low on the list for getting through the day. We do prioritize it because we are transplants without local family, so we're more focused on building a local support network than people who already have one. And everyone always seems very glad to be invited to stuff even if they don't have the capacity to reciprocate, or even say yes to every invitation. I know this because they express gratitude that someone else is planning something! [/quote] I am too! We do have parties and things at our home, but I definitely don’t need people to “reciprocate” with inviting me to walk around the park together. I would rather go for a walk with my husband, and we can still get together at group stuff and say “hi” if we pass each other in the neighborhood or at school! [/quote]
