[quote=Anonymous]this is thread has me in a state of disbelief. I have never experienced any parent showing off or looking down on me. If all this showing off of who has what is going on, it's never happened in front me. Yes, cars at pick up range from range rovers to ford escapes, but never has a range rover mom refused to talk to me or arrange a play date with my kids. I remember the welcome reception for new parents, nearly every woman there had a chanel purse (except for me), but everyone was just so friendly and focused on the kids. We all just talked about how excited we were that our kids are going to a great school and just loving the awesome facilities. Lots of parents (including me) commented on how we wish our schools growing up were as cool.

I mean honestly, I don't hang with these people socially, but whenever there is a school event for parents, they do talk to us, we just drink wine and laugh. At the last thing I went to, me and this other mom were just cracking up over this one teacher who's really strict about silly things. She was blinged out and rocking labels head to toe, but she's super cool. I really have no clue which parent belongs to a country club, no one has ever mentioned it. Cool vacation spots have come up, but that's only because its part of the conversation like if I'm arranging a get together for the kids, one mom and I were trying to figure out dates so I threw one out and she said sorry, we're going to be out of the country for all of august. I don't think she was trying to impress me, but what else was she supposed to say? 
  
where are these people? are they at sidwell? b/c I've never experienced anything like what some of these people are saying at my school. [/quote]
