[quote=Anonymous]New to a school where elementary moms push friendships based on desire to social climb and have their kid be friends with the moneyed set. I feel like I need to do all these 1:1 play dates just so my kid doesn’t get left out in the cold. problem is, I don’t love any of these girls/families and I’d rather spend time with my own family than add another play date to the list. Also, while doing well, we are just not in the same league $$$ wise as many of these families. I just find this dynamic so shallow and a huge ick-factor. Do you just play the game for your kids sake and try to foster these relationships? Do things get better in middle school or are friendships pretty much set in stone early on, in a k-8? [/quote]
