Agreed. Just depressing how the moment your kid moves up to a better or different team and poof, your "social network" is gone and needs to be replaced.

yeah. the trick is, finding the parents in the groups that you are actually real friends with. not just acquaintences. having a small regular gatherings with those close friends, the ones you want to keep in touch with. it takes more work, but it is worth it.

this is advice coming from the outside so take it with a grain of salt. it's like, hey, shit shoveler. shovel more shit. you have too much to do already.

Yeah I think we all get the concept. The issue comes down to time and resources. My "free time" starts around 1AM after all my adulting responsabilities are done. At that point a movie or a book and sleep is all I have time for. Next week is a mild week with 5 days of kids activities, 2 birthday parties, and hopefully finding time to mow the lawn.

yeah, my wife and i don't have kids and even we are going on dates buying groceries. i don't know how y'all get it done.

Instead of drowning, you learn to hold your breath. Doesn't mean it is fun, just keeps you alive.
