[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We are in Montgomery County, there are definitely a ton of other APs. She's just not outgoing and hasn't taken initiative to set anything up with anyone else...and I honestly don't want to pay for additional activities like music or gym classes when we're already paying so damn much in childcare for two kids... particularly for an 8 month old when it doesn't matter. Her morning nap is at the same time as storytimes at the local libraries. On nicer days, she will take the baby out for a while in the stroller (we are in a very walkable neighborhood) and that's all well and good, it's just that it's January and nicer weather won't be here for a few more months.

We did driving lessons, we let her drive herself to the gym and out socially with friends, and she picks my daughter up from our neighborhood preschool some days, but not at all comfortable with my baby being in the car with her.

I do need to get better with drafting a weekly schedule with specific tasks. The language barrier is just so significant, it feels impossible to communicate sometimes.[/quote]

If you are not comfortable with her taking the baby in the car, maybe an AP was not the best option for you.  What do you exactly expect her to initiate then if you don't want to pay for things and don't want her to drive?  [/quote]
