[quote=Anonymous]I have a SIL who is in tight with a group of private school moms.  She doesn't work and just spends a lot more time cultivating those relationships than you and I probably have time for.  (I work full time at a job I love and always have.)

For example, on her Pinterest page she has an entire folder or whatever you call them devoted to planning her SON"s "Promposal."  She's in Junior League and all this stuff, sits on the board for her kids' school, etc.

THe thing is, she actually loves what she does and has never really had any ambition outside of being this very particular kind of mom.  She doesn't cook, decorate, travel, or really do anything else.  Has lunch with the same ladies every week, etc.

When I look at her, part of me is jealous that she has such good friends, and that they have couple friends and family friends -- alot more than we do -- but the rest of me thinks that there are clearly opportunity costs associated with spending your time in this way versus spending it in another way.  She spends a lot of time talking with her girlfriends about diets, for example, and I could never do that.  It's boring.

And that thing about "really welcoming" so and so because of who her mom or dad is?  Yeah, my SIL would totally do that.[/quote]
