I’m curious if people aspire to this and why?

| No because I’m not 12. |

| No. The only people who care about that are in that group. It’s very self inflated. |

| In all seriousness though the popular mom cliques in the DC area are people that are total losers anywhere else. So I’m good. |

| I wouldn’t even know who those people are. |

| I am sorry, but whatever are you prattling on about? |

| No but I couldn’t even identify this group of moms at my child’s school. Sounds like something that might happen in the suburbs? |

| I’m a biglaw attorney. I feel very frozen out of the SAHM/mommy track clique at my kids’ private. I don’t even think about it 95% of the time (I’m a younger mom and most of my friends are still childless so I have a busy social life) but I do feel the sting at school events. |

I am so far removed from these things that I never knew, and will probably never know, who was/is supposed to be "popular". My oldest is a teen and he doesn't have a clue either. It's one less thing to worry about. |

| Nope. I left the drama in middle school. |

| I once heard one mom gush to another, “you’re the most popular mom in the school yearbook!” |

| I'm on the fringe of it, and... that's where I'd like to stay. In the group enough to occasionally be included in a group text and hear the gossip about what's going on at school and invited to fundraisers, but not to group vacations or birthday parties. It's been helpful for hearing about activities and extracurriculars for my kid (pre-Covid anyway) |
