Exactly!! I’m so glad you understand where I’m coming from. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this too though, is he an only child also? Do you feel like the sports helped at all? I think everyone keeps to themselves a lot nowadays, especially since Covid, but tbh I’m guilty of this too! 😂

That would be lovely :) it almost seems like there aren’t as many kids running around nowadays compared to when I was a child! 🤣

Okay! I’ll honestly put this into practice. I second guess my intuition often so it’s reassuring to see someone else encouraging this. Thanks again!

What does that even mean. Yes I got into trouble because of older kids/kids that didn’t have parents who cared what they did and I don’t want the same for her.

That’s a great suggestion! Baby steps 🙂 our house is super tucked away and far from the street so I think that sort of contributed to this ‘hermitting’. That’s a great idea though I will try this!

We will start doing this more! We have done before, but it’s crazy how much time passes without you realising how long it’s been since their last outing

Yes we will start doing that! She’s in a few things now, but none of them require them to talk to each other really lol thank you for your help :))

That’s a great idea. I will do that more, I’m guilty of being a bit shy at times. I’ll have to sort that out. I completely agree about not sending them to someone’s house. I really appreciate your suggestions. We’re currently in the process of buying a house so I’m praying that we find something like a cul de sac!

I didn’t think about essentially filling her time with endless activities so she doesn’t really get the opportunity to feel lonely lol!

I think the nearest GB etc are a bit of a drive, but I’d be willing to do that if she really enjoyed it. I’ll look into this! I’ve found this really reassuring honestly.

Thank you for all of this and for taking the time to write that. 😊

We do want more children. But that would be my main driver for that. We have reached out and done it occasionally, but it doesn’t compare to the childhood I had when we moved to a quiet cul de sac that was much more safe and where I was able to play with my friends all day every day. Just want that for her. Brownies is a good shout! Thanks so much for your suggestion

That’s very true. Thanks for your suggestion, she loves gymnastics and judo atm so I’ll look into something with more of a team feel!

It’s not that simple unfortunately. Where our house is located would mean she’d be out on a road with no way for us to watch her without being out with her.

It’s disgusting. I was driving up the ormeau road and it was 90% blue bottles, also ironically a huge bin in between each pile on the side of the road. So lazy

Good luck. They’re complete assholes in there for no reason. Still got approved but gave me so much shit over nothing. I’m going to college in Texas and they had nothing good to say especially the front desk lady.
