Most of the 'rents we meet through our kids are in the their thirties or even their twenties. It's not that we don't have anything in commmon, it's just that, like Thor's parents, they have their own friends closer in age and experience that we are.<BR/><BR/>Our one probable alternative is our local "Families With Children From China" (FCC), but in the past we've had real issues with these folks.<BR/><BR/>Enh. Like I say; it is what it is. At first I had a really hard time accepting that the Asgardians "just weren't into us". But at this point I've pretty much let go. IF they don't want to pal around I can't make them, and heartburning about it won't either make it happen or make me feel better about it.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-7856377335718157702009-04-06T06:17:00.000-07:002009-04-06T06:17:00.000-07:00Oh dear, how disheartening to experience both joy ...Oh dear, how disheartening to experience both joy (birthday, huzzah!) and disappointment at the same time.<BR/><BR/>We're in this situation too, and B and I really miss hanging out with another couple (or 2) that share our interests. The last couple with which we clicked was blossoming into a beautiful friendship until they went on a quick downward slide into alcoholism, extra-marital affairs, kinky sex, and divorce in about 6 months. It was rough to watch and became uncomfortable pretty quickly.<BR/><BR/>Since then we'e been a little gun shy. Too bad you two don't live close, I think we'd get along just fine.Debra Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012114762438284310noreply@blogger.com
