[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a dad’s perspective: MYOB generally and, [b]if volunteering, make sure that you’re doing it because you want to give back to the school community, not make new friends or raise your own kids’ profile.  [/b]

And, if you take offense easily, get involved with the activities where you know people/bodies are definitely needed and where the organizers can’t get the job done if they drive people away or engage in exclusionary behavior.[/quote]

What's wrong with making new friends? I think both can be achieved by giving time to school activities.
[b]I mean, this is definitely a DAD perspective, I think. [/b]Because lots of moms enjoy meeting and getting to know the moms of their kids' friends or classmates. Makes the school feel a lot more like a community.

Sorry you're experiencing a few clique-y moms, OP.

Nope. Mom here. I don't get a lot of time off from work, so if I'm volunteering it's because I finally have a chance to help the teacher/kids/school, not to make new friends. This isn't to say I'm mean or act like a bitch--I'm friendly and smiling at all the other parents I meet. But I have a ton of friends already, many of whom I don't get to see enough of!
