[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't dislike parent cliques because I want to be in one (shudder). I dislike them because of the vibes. I find it weird when I'm at back to school night or international night or whatever, and the adults act like their are at the homecoming dance their sophomore year of HS, standing in little clumps along the perimeter talking amongst themselves and refusing to make eye contact with anyone not in their crew.

It's just sad. Grow up! Learn how to act in mixed social settings. You are welcome to go have your little wine nights and BBQs among your little cliques later, but you come off so immature in school settings.[/quote]

So, you don't really know anyone and want people to not talk to people they already know and just talk to strangers? [/quote]

The people whose kids your kids go to school are not strangers. They can be friends but don't have to be. There are many settings in life where you need to be able to interact with what are basically friendly acquaintances, and your kids' school is one of them. It's similar to work. The problem is that in 2026 a lot of people simply have no social skills and don't feel compelled to work on them, so they silo themselves and engage in childish social behaviors in community settings.

Society is so broken. This stuff is basic if you were raised with any real manners at all.[/quote]
