Just wondering, we have now completed our 2nd year HEing, we spent our first year running around trying to make groups etc, that were not particularly that welcoming anyway, their kids had already made friends and did not want newbies joining in. I always thought HE parents and kids would be different but from our experience so far this has not been the case. I will say though we did meet a few nice people along the way too, though have never built any friendships with.
Anyway, the thing is my 8 yrs old dd needs to build friendships with other kids doing HE, because we have no family at all in this country, and because it would be good for her to have this in common with a close friend .(we feel)
She does regularly see one of our neighbours and has a baby brother.
We are also looking for families who would like to meet up.
Also in the groups we attended there was not one other family who had had a child in school, and I was told they do not mix with the groups.
Does anyone else not attend groups, any success stories with friendship outside of groups please? :) I need hope.!
