[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to move, you just need to opt out or socialize with different people. They’re there. We know people like you describe and we don’t pursue friendship. I mean I’m polite but no I don’t want to compare kids or answer questions about their reading levels. My kids do really well in some stuff but I’m not out there bragging. They also do poorly in some areas and we work on that if we feel it needs addressing. We are probably less chill than moist if our friends with same age kids, in fact. All of our friends’ kids do activities but they’re all different and not competitive. My son takes ice skating lessons because he wants to. He has no ambitions toward hockey or figure skating. Etc.

We have done the "opt out" method and whie its less stressful, its a pretty lonely existance. Like-minded people are few and far between and IME tend to be introverted. I have wanted to leave forever but spouse is convinced that would be terrible for him professionally. We've waited so long now that the kids just want to finish school where they are (9th and 6th grades.) So here I am. [/quote]
