[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at cathedral schools. It's hard when all your kids friends belong to the Chevy Chase club.  That's been the hardest for us. Our kids don't notice the difference between our house or cars and friends houses or cars or vacations. But they feel left out cuz many (most) of their friends are skating at Chevy in the winter and swimming in the summer. Hard to arrange play dates. They get invited along as guests once in a while but it is not the same and also highlights the fact that we are on the outside looking in.[/quote]

Then I am disappointed in the country club parents. We belong to a club and my kid's best buddy at school does not so we always invite him for play dates. Parents who are members of clubs should be sensitive to the fact that not all want to join or can join a club. My son did ask at an early age why some friends from school are not at the club and I said they like to do to other things on the weekends and not everybody likes to do the same things. I always tell my kids if we all did the same thing then that would boring. If he wants his friend to come, he can always invite him. I always see a ton of kids with friends that are non members at our club. Those that have should share and not exclude others. [/quote]
