[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not in the mom clique either, OP, but I’ve never been in the “cool group” so I’m used to it.

I am the smart mom with the smartest kid in class (yes, we’re both nerds) and we’re both thin and wear glasses! It’s just who we are.

Be comfortable with yourself, OP.  Accept exclusion but never exclude.  It would be the same wherever you move. [/quote]

I think this is it. I was never part of the cool or popular clique so no big deal that I’m not in the cool mom clique either.

I was at some point very much a pta mom. Not anymore.

I have always had a few close friends and still do. My friends are moms but they are not necessarily moms of my kids’ friends.[/quote]

[b]I've been in cool groups and not cool groups and sometimes no groups, and I just don't care. And that is the secret to happiness.[/b] Once a mom friend was complaining to me about mom cliques and I was like, what cliques? And she said to me, exasperated, "Oh Larla! You're just not paying attention!" And I was like, well, exactly.

I'm not on FB and use Instagram only for a hobby of mine (don't follow any school people), and I'm sure this is a help.  But also, when my oldest kid was in elementary school, I was the treasurer of the PTA for a few years. And I got to see up close how terrible some of these people are, like the ones who want to donate lots of money to the school... but only if the money goes to their own child's classroom. And the complaints about other people's children and the jockeying for the smallest of advantages. I think that experience killed any desire I might have had for close friendships through my children. It's just not a good basis for a relationship.[/quote]

All of you complaining ...^this.  You just have to get over it and live your life and stop the worrying about who is you friend, who isn't, what you were or weren't invited to.  It doesn't matter.  It really doesn't.  [/quote]
