Pathetic

Damn, good for you sis 👏🏻

I know a few moms like this, all about trying to be exclusive for some lame group no one cares about joining. It's quite sad.

Yes, people who try to make this happen are people who failed socially in other aspects of their life.

No and I avoid them as much as possible. I politely decline invitations. They gossip and I know they gossip about me. Only insecure people behave that way. I take pride in keeping them at arm’s length. Our kids are friendly but I do worry about their sweet daughters turning into mean girls like their moms.

Oh FFS. Like drama doesn’t happen in cities

Yeah, we know. It’s like rubbernecking a wreck on the highway, op.

There’s one mom chronically being left out of neighborhood events—even a car parade in her neighborhood. People are so petty that they won’t extend a silly invite to a car parade.

But then their instastory would just not be as exciting if everyone got an invite!

I had the same reaction to this silliness. DC moms have plenty of drama come on

I don't want to be popular, but I do wish I were closer to other parents to help set up social opportunities (zoom calls or whatever, eventually more playdates) now.

I think my desire to be in clique ended when I got to college

LOL. I think I’m that mom and I have zero desire to be included. It all looks so exhausting to me.

There’s a difference though. I can’t stand the group of moms here who wants their kids to be popular and star athletics. It’s too much and sad.

There is no such thing where I live (San Francisco). We're not 12.
