[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is totally a thing. People are coy about everything as if I will swoop in, take their people, have better looking hair than them at a more convenient appointment time, and then my kid will get chosen for the last spot on the 2040 Olympic team and their kid will just be an alternate because they were dumb enough to give me the signup link for the next gymnastics session.

It has happened to me when I asked others for help with:

-hair stylist
-hair colorist
-kids’ music lessons
-contractors 
-pest guy (as if there aren’t enough rats to go around?!)
-soccer team registration dates
-t-ball team sign-up deadline, which was somehow different than the individual deadline
-volunteering signups at school

My kids’ hair stylist jokes that I have sent half my kids’ school to her, but I literally have! I think that the only way to have a nice, cohesive community is to share.[/quote]

Thank you!! I thought I was crazy thinking this was happening to me but now I feel better. I'm not from such a competitive culture and it makes no sense to me.[/quote]
