[quote=Anonymous]I agree racism.  They really probably assume you are the nanny and they can't be bothered.  I know it's a pain to go to the meetings, but I agree with the go to the meeting, bring home baked cookies, introduce yourself.  I don't think you necessarily have to volunteer for anything, but at least you just make people's acquaintance.  I don't think this is much different than what those of us have had to do when we are the new (only younger w/ kids, only white) family moving into a neighborhood.  When we moved to our neighborhood 10+ years ago, this was us.  I made sure to always say hi and smile nicely and introduce myself, etc. to all the long-time neighbors.  I was super careful not to park inappropriately, accidentally fail to say hi, do anything that could be remotely annoying.  We have great relationships with all but one rude woman (rude is rude) and actually most have died or moved on to nursing homes so we don't have the youngest/only kids on the street anymore (nor are we the only white family anymore, but that's no big deal one way or another).  It's great having more kids on the block and also great having the old timers.  I'm busy, but I enjoy hearing about the neighborhood back in the day or just about my neighbor's recent surgery or grandkids or whatever.  It's great to be part of the group, but it did take some work.  [/quote]
