[quote=Anonymous][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! [b]She gets a thrill out of making people visibly uncomfortable and then plays victim when anyone snaps back.[/b] 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]
The bolded is such a common thing I've seen and experienced among people of all ages. Its exhausting and often the bully comes out looking so innocent.[/quote]
