I would say so. But that's very nice, too. My experience is different.
I think my kid's always been very social from early on. Even though we doted on him for many, many years, and kept a tight rein on his comings and going, things have changed.
Since we broke up he's had a whole, huge amount independence.
Sure, he'll spend an evening with me if there's absolutely nothing else or anyone else his own age around. Sad but true.

I rest my case
