That's a super good point with the parenting thing. Definitely not an aspect of my life that I have to worry about. And, really, as a massage therapist, I don't spend much time with coworkers or colleagues, either. But it is nice to have good rapport with people you see on a regular basis. Especially, I would imagine, if your kids are friends.
I could see being an old lady in a nursing home and being like "well, what do I really have to work with here?"
LOL!
