[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you all, but luckily, this likely does not affect you on a daily basis. A few hours of awkwardness throughout the school year at events. If I'm being honest, it's not like I'm volunteering a lot at the school or putting myself out there much. I also don't live in the same neighborhood(s) that many families live in and am not on social media, so I don't really expect them to know me.  I also work and find that many of the "connected" people are SAHP.

Yes, it is rude not at least to acknowledge someone, though.  [/quote]

DP. Actually if you have multiple kids with 1-2 games each a week that is a lot of hours to be uncomfortable! So great it doesn’t affect you but clearly it affects op and others who sit and deal with these rude people and their very loud and fake cackling laugh.  [/quote]
Aren't you primarily there to watch the game? [/quote]

DP. Of course they are but are you that obtuse to not be able to acknowledge how it may feel for someone to sit alone when a group of parents are all sitting together nearby and making it clear to op they are not welcome? Come on how can you not understand her feelings? Are you part of the mean mom group? [/quote]

DP. Idk. I’m not at all part of the social mom crowd but at sports events I politely nod to people at most. I’m there to watch the game! I don’t think I’ve even ever noticed who is sitting with someone else.

I’m puzzled by what people are reporting here. Not doubting it, just puzzled by how it even happens. [/quote]
I think some people clearly care about this more than others. Some people are happily loners or don't feel the need to be part of a clique. [/quote]
