[quote=Anonymous]I'm fat. I do a lot of volunteer work. I have mom friends at school. Not super-close mom friends, but ones I enjoy chatting with at school functions or playdates. I think volunteering does help a lot. I'm an introvert and don't generally reach out, so volunteering makes me get out there and actually talk to people. I find there are cliques, but they are mostly because that's who the parents met first and who they feel comfortable with. Not necessarily because they are trying to exclude others. And I also find a big variety in personalities, from the Maine, New Englander type mom who doesn't care about uber fashion like you are talking about, to the corporate lawyer who works all the time and is always in a suit, to the outdoor hiker mom, to the generic suburban mom. I think once you can break into a group and chat, you'll find a lot of difference, and that helps you find someone to click with.[/quote]
