[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re planning to apply to a big3/5 type schools for K and have gone on tours where we have seen some folks we know. One of them, from our current preschool reached out to me and setup a time so we can “discuss options”. I’m not really sure why they picked me to talk to since I don’t know them well. I also don’t want to give away our plans as they’re competing with our child for a slot. How would you handle this? [/quote]

I think it requires a delicate balance. You don’t want to give away too much but you also don’t want to be a jerk. During the process, you will find out some people are jerks.

It had happened to me before. One mom (I was not close to her but knew from same preschool) wanted to grab coffee to “catch up” but interrogated me the whole time. Before “grabbing coffee” with her, I thought it was just K so why not discuss? I was wrong. She was basically interrogating me for information. When I asked her thoughts, she gave away nothing.

Then, another mom friend (this one, I was closer with) would ask a lot of questions like what schools we are applying to etc. I gave her information she asked because we were “friends”. We would time to time grab dinner like double date dinners too. Once she viewed me as not useful, we stopped having dinners. Some people just show their true colors.[/quote]
