[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even in high school?  I had hoped that the kids would make their own friends by high school.  [/quote]

Of course they make their own friends but there is a very significant social component at certain schools with heavily involves entire families and parents etc... If you are not friends with the parents you are not included or part of it and neither is your child. [/quote]

My kid is at the center of the super popular crowd at his/her Big3 high school and we have nothing in common with the other parents (many of whom are lifers whereas we arrived in 9th grade).  The other parents used to openly look through us but now our kid has spent so much time at their homes they are nice to us when they see us at school events. However we certainly don't hang out together outside of school.

Our second kid wants nothing to do with the popular crowd.  It's been sort of a relief.  I was not popular growing up and my husband even more of a geek. Our first child's social world is foreign to both of us. [/quote]
