Just wondering how do your children spend their weekends and what their social life is like. My children have some activities and sometimes see friends and we do things as a family, go on holidays and get them involved in the house shores but in general I feel we got lots of spare time and I would like them to see friends more often, however I feel that people is always full of activities, commitments and it can be difficult to organise things. I am not sure it is because we live in London and there is always a lot going on and the fact that we don't have family around doesn't help as my husband and I are from different countries.
I grew up spending time on the weekends with my friends, roller-skating, bike riding and running and playing on the streets, going swimming, etc. but I feel this doesn't happen anymore; despite living in a street with lots of children we barely know them and my children friends are mainly from school. I question whether they are really having a nice childhood and whether perhaps we should move somewhere else or if it is like that everywhere now and we just need to get them in more activites.
