[quote=Anonymous]I don't feel this way, even though I am kinda anxious generally. BUT, we are congregated outside the building, not the classroom, for all grades, so who is talking to who from each class, it's not obvious.

I just don't have time for thinking about that, and I believe that the other women don't have time for that either. I see that some moms have friendships, and I have some too, if only beginning or superficial. I sometimes have someone I am happy to see or need to speak to. Otherwise, dropoff/pickup is understood (by me, in my community) to be done with attention to the kids, and some polite small talk. I'd like to be more friendly, and make more friends, but I am busy and I believe these other moms are even busier.

I live in DC and the other moms have important jobs, like corporate lawyer, business owner, chief of staff in Congress, head of etc. My job is not like that, but if I don't have time, nobody has time. And besides that, it's the dads there half the time, and their jobs are like that too.

This could be different depending on area.[/quote]
