To feel sad that my daughter has seen one friend during the summer?

[Pinacolada55]

I know it depends on where you live /if both parents are at work etc but I know these people well and they are not working over the summer.

So we are approaching the end of the summer holidays. I have a preteen son and an 8 year old daughter. My son has one friend who lives close by who he goes out with on his bike/to play football most days.
My daughter doesn't have anyone to play out with as there are no other children living close by (even though we live on a housing estate!)
She has about 6 close school friends who we see out of school and for playdates /sleepovers etc during term time. But they all go quiet over the summer. She has met up with one friend for a couple of hours in the entire 6 weeks. She really misses her friends and I've asked all of their parents if we can meet but to no avail.
Weve had a lovely summer and have kept busy and had lots of fun but I wish she could see more of her friends.
Her dad keeps getting on at me because our son gets to play out and she doesn't, but what else does he want me to do?!! I've tried to arrange multiple times and noone will. The friend we met up with said they hadn't seen anyone else either and the others aren't meeting up with each other. Seems strange to me that they don't seem to want their kids to see their friends!
Hubby is even suggesting we stop our son from playing out because it's unfair on our daughter!! Wtf!

We both work part-time, some of the school mums assume I'm a SAHM because they see me at things and we don't have extra childcare. What we do is juggle our time carefully and that means the holiday period was mostly booked out back in June. Looking at the diary, 3 of 6 weeks we are away. Summer camps and work days align taking out half of the other 4 weeks. One family visit and one friend visit takes out another week. A few days of family day trips. Then we do have planned play dates, but perhaps 10 in total and only half are from school, most school ones as bigger groups. A couple of scheduled downtime days e.g. The day after Chessington we'd not book something That's basically it, there actually aren't free days. Maybe you can book half term stuff a bit earlier, it might help?
