Met friend today, we went to National Trust park, followed by coffee shop. Had a lovely time outside, in coffee shop all hell broke loose. (He's 21 months.) He shouted for this & that, kept chucking cup onto the floor, then when I turned away he up-ended his plate. The shouting for him to be let out of high chair was embarrassingly loud so I let him out, whereupon he started running around, picking things up off the table of stuff that was for sale. (The shop is attached.) Retired Major and his wife at the next table were not impressed.
The thing is, if I go on my own/we stay in all of most of the day they (he's a twin) are fine but if I EVER try to go anywhere with a friend they just seem to hate the fact that I am talking to someone else. I only try to meet someone about once a week. There have been periods when I've just given up trying to meet up with people but one day they will go to school and I will be BillyNoMates, which is how I feel when I go places on my own but it is actually easier. If lonelier.
