Vince has been having trouble finding a group of close pals at school. It’s pretty painful to hear since it so starkly contrasts with kindergarden at his old school, where he had a close group of diverse friends.
We actually had the pleasure to meet up with K., Vince’s friend who moved to upstate NY at the same time that we moved to a new neighborhood. They drove 4 hours each way during Thanksgiving weekend to see us at Jeremy’s parents’ house. It was really sweet to see them together again.
Looks like they laughed so hard milk came out someone’s nose!
My guys cycle in and out of having a group of good friends, too. I think it is pretty normal, in this mobile society we live in especially. Kind of sad when the friendship thing is not working, lovely when it is. I have one son in full gang of friends feather, the other pretty bare and alone. These positions were reversed just a couple of years ago.
It is painful, for both parent and child, but just hang in there, it will change!
