Wow...I am a freak! I'm the complete opposite. We never go to the park, unless no one else is there. I have no interest in meeting up with other providers and my kids are too little for the equipment, so we don't bother. We go for walks, picnics and meals out at restaurants....stuff like that. Parents come inside and play with the kids (if they're so inclined). Sometimes we put on some tea or coffee. If it's the end of the day, we might have a glass of wine or, if I'm taking my kids out for dinner, some might join us. I've had the odd client stay on and have dinner with us if hubby is working our out of town. We have girly nights of margaritas occasionally....kind a cool. One lady's bringing me homemade perogies for dinner tonight (bless her...she knows the way to my heart!). One has offered to be my ride to the hospital for my surgery...I don't need it, but still...so nice! We're all on FB and are all going to one little gal's bday party this month. I love the connection with them! Of course, there's the odd one that makes me regret it, but for the most part, it has worked out very, very well.

Of course, I'm also single and just about dying to talk to an adult by the end of the day, so I guess that might be part of it
