How long have you been there? It's possible that connections will grow over time.

I have nothing in common with the parents at the school my child goes to and [b]yet everyone is cordial and welcoming[/b] and I am definitely not miserable.

Is it a matter of you hoped to get your own friends when you enrolled your child? Say more so we understand why you are miserable, sounds like you are having a hard time with the unmet expectations.[/quote]I hav

Different poster here.

The thing is that at some schools, many people are NOT cordial or welcoming.  That is the problem.  I am NOT looking for my new BFFs or even friends but it would be nice if people who I chatted with 2 or 3 times at previous events would even acknowledge me when passing at the next event  It's just weird.  I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday and have been in many DC circles of busy people who still manage to engage politely with others.[b]  So when SAHMs of high schoolers at our school look through me (and others) I know it's not because they're "too busy";[/b] rather that they're just being obnoxious.  
Vent over: I have met some lovely people and have a dozen or so I can chat with at events and a few that I will probably keep in touch with long after my kids graduate.  But the rest I could really do without. [/quote]

You sound lovely…
