we don't know our neighbors very well, and have always wanted to get to know them better. well last month we were invited to our neighbor's pool party one afternoon. we had really wanted to go but then that day since we were busy running so many errands DS was having issues with napping and he went down right before the party was supposed to start...so he slept thru the whole party and we figured it wasn't worth going 2 hrs late
I agree that the logistics make things very hard! Just as a suggestion for another time, in a case like this where it is a neighbor's event, DH and I just switch off at the party. He goes for an hour then I go for an hour. That way we get to see people and socialize a little bit anyway.
