[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a middle aged suburban mom who was relentlessly bullied in high school, I feel like I am reliving those horrific days again. I *hate* it, and I hate especially that it seems so much easier to be a dad: they don’t play these games and don’t care, so why do we?

Why can’t grown women just be cool and nice to each other? Real question. [/quote]

I know that this can happen anywhere but this flavor seems to be particular to the DMV[/quote]

I don't think so. Clearly you have never met Southern Moms.[/quote]

+100000.  It’s everywhere.

It gets worse as women lose their looks and are unemployed.

Notice how friendly and inclusive a group of attractive 28 year old women are?  Now compare that to some overweight middle aged moms in Vienna. Complete opposite. [/quote]

I agree with the poster who said it's a small percentage who are the worst and cause the most damage. I tend to avoid mom groups. I find people much more normal 1-1 or just in a very small group. Perfectly nice women can sometimes go along with rude behavior to get along in groups.

I laughed though at how "it gets worse as women lose their looks." My mom is a mean girl who was very pretty in her day. When she was getting a steady stream of compliments for her looks and women fawning over her she could stand to be nice. Now that she's old, wrinkled and a widow she is so mean! She gets a thrill out of making people visibly uncomfortable and then plays victim when anyone snaps back. It's usually only her peers who will snap back because everyone else is afraid of being accused of elder abuse. Miserable people like to spread the misery.[/quote]
