[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is some of this going on at murch as well. I see it but I honestly can't make myself care enough. I'm a single mom, not wealthy, I work all the time. My weekends are spend on chores and playmates. I don't think I need to be the most popular parent at school. I want my child to make his own friends and I don't necessarily have to be best friends with the parents. I don't plan to run for PTA.  Education is important and I'm cordial and will hapily socialize when time permits, but I'm not crying because I'm not in the  "in crowd".[/quote]

I am a former Murch parent and have the same mind set as yours but with a different SES.  My husband and I are working professionals and my family lives in the neighborhood of Murch.  I would chat with the moms when I had time but mostly I would drop the kids off at school, parties and play dates and be off.  I did not have much time for schmoozing but my kids had plenty of friends without me interceding on their behalf.  I don't know what you mean by "popular parents" or "in crowd" at school maybe because I could care less.  My kids are now in private school and I have the same mindset.  There are more SAHMs and SAHDs who probably have family money.  Again, I chit chat occasionally and there are more parties and activities but on a higher economic scale.  My kids get plenty of invitations and I even call on the SAHMs to take my kids with them when I can't get away.  So, I guess what I am saying is I think this whole thread is silly.  And, parents should let their children make friends the natural way.  [/quote]
