[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This bagging on making friends with other parents is crazy to me. We have made so many wonderful friendships with other parents we have met through our kids’ activities. And how else is one expected to make friends as a parent of young children? I have lots of wonderful friends from high school, college, previous jobs, etc. but they live all over the world. I love seeing them, but I also love sharing the trenches with our DC parent friends. Many of these people will be keepers for life no matter where they go. But I imagine that they are also good enough friends that we will have heart to heart talks about their decisions to move to the suburbs, go private, etc. [/quote]

/shrug. Maybe they feel the same way, maybe they don’t. I enjoy a lot of my kids’ friends’ parents, but out of all of them, there are maybe two families that will be forever friends. Also, how old are your children? In the early elementary days it seems like you’re sharing everything. When the time comes for middle school and high school, people make their own decisions, often privately. [/quote]
