[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let me get this straight - instead of inviting this mom to coffee you are posting here and wondering why she doesn’t get therapy? [/quote]

Correct.

I feel the need to #notallroommoms this because seriously -- they aren't all like this! We are the new family at my DC's school this year and the room mom has been nothing but welcoming, communicative, and kind. And has helped organize some class wide playdates and activities to help the new families meet people. If she has noticed us looking awkward at events or struggling to make friends (I don't know if we look like this or not, we don't have any class friends yet but I don't view that as a big deal), her response has been to be welcoming and helpful, not openly judgmental.[/quote]

How great! I am also still grateful years later for the kind room moms (and dads) who planned inclusive activities at a time when my kid was having a really rough go and I felt very self conscious about it. I feel like room parents sometimes think their job is to suck up to the teacher instead of create community. [/quote]
