Not true for me. In fact, I'm feeling the effects of everybody already having their community and not being interested in new friends. Two very close friends moved, and I'm struggling to replace them. My three best friends don't live near me, and while we chat weekly, or 3x a week sometimes, it would be nice to have lunch with them. I then have a few groups of friends I see a few times a year, and there are a few couples we try to see for family BBQs. I'm part of a book club, but that's my only "social thing" really, save for a friend stopping by for a play date every so often. I luckily have my HS co/op, but I don't "socialize" with these families beyond bday parties. I see them at least once a week for field trips and things, but they aren't "friends." I may throw a BBQ this summer. I'm thinking about it.
But as my children are getting older, I feel like we are losing friends. People are so over scheduled that they don't have time for dinner anymore. Let me rephrase that, the kids are so over-scheduled that the parents can barely find time for date night, let along a BBQ.
I find current times sad. There isn't much community anymore, just nomades of sorts wrapped up in their own world. Capital is destroying us, if you ask me. Of course you don't want to take it to the next level, you have a best friend -hubby- and a child that you don't get to see enough of because of work. I even find us canceling on people because we need alone family time.
Work force practices aren't family friendly, so who really has time to build friendships or community? Maintaining a family is hard enough. People have time for one thing, one community, be it church, the country club, etc. But there just isnt time to build friendships. Friendships need time and constant contact. This is why Facebook is so big. It gives people a false sense of having friends. It falsely fills the need.
