Text 10
M: Mrs. White, can you tell us something about you and the parents of your kid’s friends?
W: Well, when my children were small, we moved to a new city and rented a townhouse in a community full of other families with small children. All of the families would spend the evenings in a grass courtyard. Children ran around and the parents shared stories after a day’s work. Those moms who stayed home during the day joined in as well. In fact, this was just an extension of our day, as we shared babysitting and made play dates that were sometimes more for ourselves than our kids!
Time went by and one by one we moved out of the community, buying our own houses in our new city. As the children grew, it became harder and harder to get together. The kids had new friends and their own schedules. We were forced to spend more time on the phone with each other and less time hanging out. Eventually, even the phone time became more limited.
Fortunately, some of these women are still my close friends. They are the people on my kids’ emergency contact list for school, and I know that I can find them whenever I have a problem and they will come to help.
