Welcome to the world of Soccer Moms.

OP! Just laugh it off. Take the high road. Be friendly and cordial with this bitch! Ha! She's a fool.

Just think: a quick way to figure out who you'll never befriend.

And, soccer parents are so strange and hyper competitive. I just go to games and sit by myself or with DH. We're on a new team this year. Moms love to sidle up and start asking all about my DC; teams played, coaches, other sports, future plans...get over yourselves, parents.  And it's the moms. Always the moms. [/quote]
OP here.  We have been very lucky - we are on the “B” team for both kids.  The other son, who has been on travel longer, has a great team & team parents.  Every one is there to cheer for the kid - not coach them, not criticize them.  Really a great group.  We’ve had a couple the “A” team kids sub in for us when we were short players a couple times, and those parents are hyper-competitive and - in front of all the kids - were saying what bad players they were.  I have no desire for my son to make the “A” team. And as whole, the parents on my son’s team cheer up other kids when they are feeling down.  One kid yesterday got chewed out by the coach (he did screw up...) but after the game I made sure to tell him what a great play he had when he did x (not the part where he screwed up). And all the parents are like that.  
Being new to this team I don’t know the parent dynamics and want to stay on everyone’s good side. I’m there to cheer for the kids - not create parent drama or gossip on who isn’t playing well. So good advice - I’ll just sit by myself and cheer on the team.[/quote]
