homecoming and socially aggressive moms

I’m talking about freshman in high school with their moms talking about it constantly for weeks and working behind the scenes to plan their cchild’s dates and pre-parties. For example, one started about a month in advance, calling many even people with children who aren’t her child’s good friends, and advised her child to wait to decide until the last minute to make sure the child had the most options and could go with the “best” possible party, then posted endless pictures on social media tagging everyone. Our child was there too, so this isn’t about being excluded, but it has been eye opening to see how involved some of moms are in their teenagers’ social lives, and I wondered if this is unique to our child’s school. Maybe it is because this is the first big event of the year.

Wow. This is gross. I'm sorry, OP. You gotta distance from this sh*t now before it gets worse. It will get worse.

I don't even know what this is. WTF kind of life do these women have to have TIME to do these things?? Clearly they are well-off, nobody else has the time, money nor energy to be this involved. I feel sorry for their kids, it's going to be a rough ride.

I was recently cornered by a mother who asked me about my daughter’s homecoming experience and then proceeded to tell me how she went to her daughter’s friend’s homecoming pre-party with all the other parents of the friends and how lovely it was and on and on and on. Apparently all of the parents bought their daughters wrist corsages. So glad I don’t see her that much. It makes me nauseous to listen to that kind of meaningless drivel.

Yuck yuck yuck. I would say it's pathetic and shows little hope for humanity, but I'm trying to communicate more positively so....uh.....ermmmm.....bless their hearts, poor things.

We are maybe just two years away of DC moms putting up pics of their daughters on FB in bras and underwear….for sale signs….wait, a couple of them already do that in my neighborhood….apparently Rehoboth bikini on the beach pics are okay to share publicly.

I find this mentality disgusting.

Those kinds of moms are never happy. Can you imagine living in a household where the whole world revolves around appearances?

Moms of all girls are the worst - trying so very hard to live vicariously for what they never had. It is a sad train wreck to see.

Way to tell your daughter that only looks matter (even if you don't admit it): "Honey, I know that's all you have, so work it, before you are old like me, okay then." So sad.

These moms have all girls, usually. Living vicariously. Want their daughter to be "popular" - date the "right" guy, etc. Sad. Does more damage than they know.

One daughter was in the thick of things being friends with girls with moms like that ^^. She "went to homecoming" with like 20 girls/several limos/professionally done hair and makeup and 1000% mean girl drama to last a life time. Lara's in, Stephanie's out, Ashley's in, Amelia's out, Lara's now out, Amelia's now in. DON'T EVER include Kylie....gross....

My other daughter went with three friends. Drove them and had a great time. But no social media brag photos. LOL

Epic reenactment! Yes! Everyone knows who "that" mom is - and it is usually not the one who "that" mom warned you about. (bc: diversion tactic fail). LOL.

DP here. This part is definitely true!

Girl. Decided to attend the dance 12 days beforehand. Girl shopped with friend for dress and told me helicopter moms were directing their teens into dresses at the shop.

We booked a haircut the day of the dance. They all went to a diner afterward so no reservation. No flowers. She wore shoes she already owned.

Well done, mom. I would bet homecoming was much more fun that way, seriously.
