[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full time working mom with young high schooler and older elementary kid. I see my friends several times a week. Just to stop by their house or mine for a drink or chat. I watch a show with 1 friend so we have a standing weekly date to watch that after kids are asleep. Dropping coffee off on a weekend morning, etc. We might have bigger plans going to a restaurant or bar or event every other month or so but just seeing each other and nurturing our village is enough. Our kids are all various ages but love each other and enjoy spending time together because we have made our friendships a priority. It’s very confusing to me to hear others say they don’t prioritize their friendships because I don’t understand how you can get through parenthood or adulthood without a solid and reliable support system.

My friendships are mostly online and via telephone. We do have a support system, just not in person.[b] I volunteer and exercise[/b] in addition to working full time and raising kids so in person time is rare.[/quote]

Do you not do either of these activities with friends?[/quote]

No other than the occasional walk[/quote]

PP here. Doing that stuff with friends is a way I can stay in touch with them. It doesn't work with everyone or even all the time, but just a thought. If you exercise at home, for example, maybe a once-a-week pickleball game or something at a gym. Anyway, just my two cents. You seem ok with your set up and I also have friends who are long-distance so I get it.[/quote]
