[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard not to fall into the trap because your kid starts to notice when they aren’t invited to things. Now that she is a bit older, I can tell her that it’s not her, it’s her parents that are not being invited to parties and lunches after school wide events. We aren’t unlikeable people, but we can’t offer much socially. Having a playdate at our house means nothing because we aren’t members of a country club (no recommendation letters). Our jobs aren’t exciting- not a lot of business referrals here. We don’t have a beach house at Bethany Beach, can’t crash at our place. But we have found our people. There are way more confident, happy people than the social climbers. And even within the social climbing cliques, there’s a weird pecking order and lots of pain and exclusion. I’m happy to not be part of that- truly. There’s something empowering with growing up, you care less. Isn’t that the goal? I hope my kid understands when she is an adult. [/quote]
