[Filtered to parents/guardians of young children]

I've noticed that there's quite a few of us with young kids in the infant to preteen range. I know that some of us have been here for awhile, but some, like my family, haven't been here very long, and as a result, don't really have much in terms of friends for our children, or a support group of other parents.

Has anyone ever talked of maybe forming a parents and kids group? Like, the parents hang out and talk about our lives or whatever, while the kids all play together? We meet up at maybe different houses or go on outings together, like to museums and the zoo, have cookouts, things like that. Maybe parents who've been around for awhile can give tips to other Displaced parents, and our kids have a group of friends that are in similar situations to theirs.

If other parents wanted to, I certainly wouldn't object to forming a group like this. It'd be nice to have a support group of other parents and it would be nice for my kids to have some friends around their age who are also in the same situation that they are.

	Gotcha. So it's been awhile for you, then. Also, my youngest won't be too much older than Jacob, so when he does get here, he'll have someone around his own age that he can interact with once he's able to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've grown up in the mansion and lived and taught there for a long time, but the children who come are usually teenagers, so you're right - it's been a while. I'll definitely appreciate having others around with more experience. I'm Jean, by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Someday, I'll have teenagers. And while I've noticed that there are a fair amount of teenagers around, teenagers don't exactly need play groups to learn how to socialize and spend time with people their own age. I'm Laura. It's nice to meet you, Jean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's very true. It's nice to meet you too, Laura, and this is a fantastic idea. Thank you for sharing it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
