Another friend, I sent an email to a few weeks ago about a non-kid topic. I haven't heard back from any of them.
So, would you call or email again?
Initially when I read your post, I was thinking "how rude!" of those people, but then I remembered that it was a holiday weekend, so I'd give all 3 of the people some slack and just email or call again. Personally, I don't see a problem doing that and it doesn't seem desperate to me. Sometimes, esp. around a holiday, people are forgetful so they might appreciate a call. It's so easy to let time slip by and before you know it, it's been a week!
I feel bad for your kiddos - I've heard the same complaint from my eldest. He's more social than DS2 and always wants to be around other kids. Too bad I live on the South Shore - we have boys the same ages!
