I've dealt with camera focus issues before and and often it's something mechanical like a worn-out gear in the autofocus system, especially if the camera's seen some use on those family trips. Resetting and cleaning are smart first steps, but if that didn't work, it might need internal attention. Is it worth repairing? Well, if a new one is out of reach budget-wise, absolutely, repairs can extend its life significantly without breaking the bank. I had one repaired and it lasted another few years, no regrets. Just get a quote first to make sure. And hey, sometimes local shops offer free estimates, which helps decide.

First week here I took the kids to the closest playground and ended up chatting with another tired adult about snack cups. We swapped numbers after our kids bonded over the slide. It felt natural because everyone there is already in meet-people mode. Library story time and park playgroups are the easiest low pressure spaces. I also asked the school office about any parent WhatsApp groups. Work breaks count too, even if it is just a 15 minute coffee with a coworker. I wave at neighbors while wrangling scooters, then ask for a local pizza rec and let the convo roll. Keep it simple and follow up with a short text to meet again at the same spot next week. The secret is repeating the same places so faces turn familiar fast.
