I feel exhausted trying to socialise my dc.
I've arranged for three meet ups in the park - which is actually pretty good for us.
The first one, the response I got when trying to set date/time were 'sure, if nothing else comes up'. They did turn up, 20 mins late.
The second one - they said 5pm meet up. This is late for us. We normally finish park time by that time. Anyway, we agreed to accommodate. They arrived at nearly six.
The last one - 'tomorrow afternoon, but Friend might be tired. If tired then next day'... So didn't know until the last min and hard to plan for the day we were not going to meet. These are six yo dc, btw.
They met us on the next day- they were late and then needed to go home fairly soon.
All initiated by me. People don't ever seem to remember to text for a play with my dc. I feel like I'm imposing on people. Being an inconvenience. He has one child he feels the closest to, but the other parent seems to discourage the friendship.
Is this always such hard work?
