[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of what I read seems exaggerated but part of it rings true.  A colleague at work started her DS at Janney last year and fretted about  hosting a reception at home to "introduce" their family to other Janney parents.  She seemed pretty stressed out about it.[/quote]

Did your colleague tell you that she VOLUNTEERED to host the low-key parent social that each class holds at the beginning of the school year?  That it's a potluck with generally bad food?   That lots of schools do this?  That the purpose is all parents to get to know one another, not for your friend to "introduce" herself to the Janney community?    That  "reception" is a generous description for 20-30 parents munching on chips and salsa for 90 minutes?

Given that description, does your view still "ring true" or does your colleague seem a bit neurotic?

I don't think this was a potluck, because I know she was working with a caterer and talking a lot with her DH about the invitation list.  No comment to the bit neurotic question.[/quote]

You have probably just outed your colleague.  [/quote]
