[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advise from an older woman:  do everything in your power to keep close to your old friends.  You will need them as touchstones and support later.  “Mom friends” can become true friends but generally they are fleeting and mercurial.  You’ll have to believe me on this.  [/quote]

Kids drift apart. Families move. Parents get divorced. Some kids play baseball. Others go to a different school because they are gifted. Or they choose private school.

I would not drop my real friends in attempts to make mom friends. [/quote]

So you would risk leaving your kids as outcast just for your own friendships that would probably accept you back after the childhood years. Your child’s school years are temporary and you can get back to old friends later. [/quote]

This response really drives home exactly why you should not abandon your longtime support system for superficial relationships. Imagine how fast this PP would drop you if you or your child were having a difficult time.

f you are at a school where your kids risk being outcasts if their parents aren't part of the "cool" group, your first order of business is to get the hell out of there. Move, pronto. [/quote]
