Children playing with friends vs playing with siblings

Do children have less meet ups/ play dates with other children outside the family nowadays or it’s just something we are seeing in our circles?

My child had zero friend meet ups over the Easter holidays. Most of them are doing things with siblings and cousins.

I had two sisters but I always played with my friends, not sisters, as did they…

Every time I mention about not being able to get dc do stuff with friends outside school I get the ‘ah, we don’t have that problem as we have two/ three…’

We are only really looking for the occasional, not every day, friendly catch ups.

My daughter is an only aged 7.
There seems to be quite a few only girls in her class and they have made friends. Plenty of kids on the estate too and they are always knocking on the door or in our house 🤣 ..some have siblings where the age gap is a bit big to play together (4-6 years) and I think some like that our house is just us!
