[quote=Anonymous]My son is just a toddler so we're just now getting into the birthday party scene, but based on my interactions with low SES parents in my neighborhood, I think it can often come down to just not having much in common. DH and I live adjacent to a large public housing development and any time we interact with the section 8 neighbors, even those we have known for several years, it can feel like we are on different planets. Even with the friendliest neighbors we just have nothing in common and it's hard to develop much of a relationship. I have noticed the same in chatting with parents at the playground. I meet friendly parents with nice kids among the low SES neighbors, but we never really manage to connect that well--at least not so far. I haven't had this experience in a school setting yet, but I would guess it is similar. [/quote]
