Because the cultural gulf between me and most parents of small children is so broad as to feel completely daunting, and I'm a white middle-class woman who lives in the burbs.
And this is why most of my friendships are online.
We've never really found parents of our kids' friends to be friendly with. Of course, coordinating the interests and schedules of four adults is a lot harder than just two. I managed to find a couple of other moms once in a while who were good for coffee or the occasional drink, but not much more.
Then again, I am historically *not* a joiner, or a group-activity type. My one week at sleepaway Girl Scout camp when I was 11 made me nearly suicidal.
