[quote=Anonymous] I was a PTA board member for many years and oversaw a lot of voluntary positions. I'll venture that these people who contacted you are merely being polite in their interactions with you. This is normal. They are not your friends, they are just trying to get along to get the job done. Some mothers at school have this "let's be best friends!!!" approach to PTA interactions, but it's not hypocritical. It's just their way of being. When you were an anonymous parent, it was also normal for them to not make a special effort to be your friend. You were one face in the crowd. When you stop having a role at your children's school, you will hopefully keep a few friendly connections (if you're a genuinely kind and helpful person), but you will also stop receiving "let's be best friends!!!" coms. The world is not out to get you, OP. But it can't notice you as you would wish, certainly. [/quote]
