It is hard with the play dates - everyone is in their cars at picked up (althought i have walked a few times this week) so you dont get the sitting the yard waiting for the kids chat.
She wont ask the kids their names so i cant ask her about 'specific' kids.
I have been saying, i need you to ask your friends their names so i know who to write on the party invites for your birthday (which is in 6 weeks). and she says just invite everyone!

Gosh how i wish i would socialise with other mums - apart from what i just wrote, i have gone to a few mothers groups and i am greatly an outsider. I live in a very ethnic suburb, and when i make effort to say hi, i get a smile then every mums so far has turned and talked amongst themselves in their language.
walking to school this arvo i smiled at 4 mums i passed ready to say hi , not one lifted their head to make eye contact.
i just dont want her to feel the way i am in this new town - she has noticed she looks different to everyone else and gets upset she cant speak other language most days.
although this arvo she asked why she cant go to after school care - go figure! its just the mornings that are hard
