[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's not socially aggressive.  Maybe your kids are boring.

My daughter will work with one girl on group projects but won't otherwise hang out with her.  That girl doesn't go anywhere but school without her entire family, and has zero sense of humor.  The girls went to a movie and the mom sat right next to them.  That was the last straw for DD.  "If I wanted to hang out with a mother, I'd hang out with my own!" [/quote]

Well, there's your answer OP. Want to hang out with that? Count your blessings lol

OP here that's weird.  I'm not talking about those situations.  I'm talking about moms that are socially aggressive because they can be.[/quote]

What's a specific example?[/quote]

not OP, but I'll give a recent example I encountered.  My DD just joined an activity, it was something that required an audition so she was really excited she made it.  There were other girls who had done it in the past, and new girls like DD.  We go to the first meeting of this and we end up walking with first with one new girl and three returning girls and their parents.  Both new girls didn't know the returnees, but it just so happens that the other new girl's family is prominent in some way (I won't say how because that will out her).  One of the moms gets all excited and get the returning girls' attention and waits dramatically until they all turn to her:  "Girls! girls!  Attention please, I want you all to really welcome Larla, who is new this year!  Let's all give a big welcome to Larla!"  And she goes over and starts introducing each of them.  Meanwhile, my DD and I are just standing there too, clearly the other new people there in the small room, clearly left out.  I'm thinking, wow, are we invisible?  [/quote]

But, they didn't know you.  They knew the other woman.  This seems totally fine to me.  If I'd been you, I'd have waited for the "big welcome" chatter to die down and then said, "Hey, and while we're doing introductions, I'm Rachel and this is Emma - she's also new this year, and so excited to do a great job at this year's performance of Nutcracker."
