[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a desperate attempt to buy friends, sorority-style, only with babies. Try moms' meetups, chatting to people in playground or baby-and-me classes. Your tribe is out there, just be creative looking for it.[/quote]

This was my experience. It reminded me why I never joined a sorority. I was surprised to see how quickly certain women became the more popular ones and others were quickly relegated to second tier status (wealth and job status/prestige seemed to play a big time in this), and saddened by the gossiping about other women behind their backs, and bothered by how quickly smaller circles of women banded together and then would have separate events/get togethers/dinners and somehow manage to bring them up to let the rest of us know we were not in the inner circle. At the time I was so desparate to try and make new mom friends and get out of the house that I minimized it and tried for a while to be friends with the “it” girls before I came to my senses. It’s hard enough to be a new mom without adding middle school friend drama.
