[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a non-White immigrant mom and I have been both in the  PTA and out of PTA. I don't fit in and I don't care to fit in. I am friendly with most people, know a ton of parents, teachers and kids, and I get lots of things done for the school and students.

I have seen my kid's school years as a sandbox that allows them to learn and grow, so that they can function successfully in the adult world. This means that I will enrich the school day for them in any way that I could by bringing programs and opportunities to the school.  Other students, teachers and school also benefit by what I do, but in reality that is a consequence of me helping my own child.  [/quote]

This is me too. I will add that I put a lot of effort into making friends with other parents. 95%  of the time I am the one approaching others. I don’t do that anymore bc I’m tired of doing all the work. I’ve accepted that Im never going to fit in and I don’t care to anymore.

The friends I have now are the friends I’ve had before we had kids and it’s enough for me.

FWIW, OP, I am thin and put together. [/quote]
