It will last until as long as it takes for the new friends to Google them I'd expectHi Lazy
Are your chuldrun really making friends or are they just in the same place as some other random children. Either way, doesn't it show you they are crying out for some normality, friends, a routine and a home life.
Of course all these random children live near to you and will have 'playdates'. Does mummy really organise things for 10, 13 and 16 year olds? I thought you had lots of BBQs planned with your neighbours too, how's that going to work when you don't have a weekend free until Christmas?
