[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i hear you OP. my oldest is in second grade so we are not there yet but i can imagine this as something happening to her, too.

many posters are playing it dumb, no way parents care about stuff like that, "when i was young my parents...". but, when we were young we also played outside all day long, rode without car seats yada yada yada. our parents might have been aware of this but most of the parents today, of the kind that visits DCUM, are. and yes, some lord it over. many people are competitive and this is one to have an edge over others.[/quote]

Well, you’re visiting DCUM—so are you hyper aware of your kid’s social relations and do you lord over other parents about your kid’s popularity?  Or do you just stick to lording over people with regards to situations that you imagine might happen in 4 years and how wonderfully you will handle them, despite the fact that you have no idea what you are talking about?[/quote]

yes, i am aware of my kids' social relations - i am a bit of a helicopter parent myself. all i said was that to say - like many did - that parents of the popular kid are clueless about it and don't know who their friends are and don't care that their children are popular is bullshit. i never said that i will handle whatever situation my kids face with grace (i have no clue how i will handle it or what kind of challenges are in front of me).[/quote]
