Yes, you had three boys. They had
each other . If you had an "only child" I can assure you it would have been different. An only child comes home to a house with no other kids. The parent has to work harder to find other parents who are willing to let their kids play with their child.
Your post is a perfect example of what I am talking about
: parents of more than one child do not understand the struggle of parents who have only children.
Also, since your boys were involved in scouts and sports, then these social interactions were arranged by you, weren't they? So it seems that you did arrange things so your children could meet and play with other kids.
