How long have you been there? It's possible that connections will grow over time.

I have nothing in common with the parents at the school my child goes to and [b]yet everyone is cordial and welcoming[/b] and I am definitely not miserable.

Is it a matter of you hoped to get your own friends when you enrolled your child? Say more so we understand why you are miserable, sounds like you are having a hard time with the unmet expectations.[/quote]I hav

Different poster here.

The thing is that at some schools, many people are NOT cordial or welcoming.  That is the problem.  I am NOT looking for my new BFFs or even friends but it would be nice if people who I chatted with 2 or 3 times at previous events would even acknowledge me when passing at the next event  It's just weird.  I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday and have been in many DC circles of busy people who still manage to engage politely with others.  So when SAHMs of high schoolers at our school look through me (and others) I know it's not because they're "too busy"; rather that they're just being obnoxious.  
Vent over: I have met some lovely people and have a dozen or so I can chat with at events and a few that I will probably keep in touch with long after my kids graduate.  But the rest I could really do without. [/quote]
