[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew a mom at a top private who was a complete wackadoodle.  She was a climber and constantly trying to get friends through her children's social interactions (playdates, activities, etc).  She was always talking about who she knew (although very superficially), which neighborhood she lived in (although worst house in said neighborhood), how rude, mean, or ill-mannered other people where (blind to her own behavior), and always wanted to know what everyone else was doing after school or on weekends.  Once people got to know her they realized she was crazy, insecure, hypocritical, and socially intolerable.  This realization would result in them stepping back from the relationship and putting a wall up.  Not wanting to be rude or cause an inappropriate confrontation, many people never actually told her she was crazy and had issues, they just quietly backed off or remained very superficial with her.  She did not take this backing off very well and became even more crazy, insecure, and socially intolerable.  She even blamed other people (paranoia) for her lack of friends and inability to climb higher up the social ladder.  She completely lacked the insight that it was she who was the problem and no one else.  Unfortunately, people like this will never change.  Their psychological issues run deep and they will always live in a state of angst. Very sad and pathetic situation, especially for the children who will likely learn from her bad habits and continue the cycle or be damaged emotionally themselves.

That being said, get over your issues with social media posts.  Whether bad or good, they are part of our life and children's future.  Do not pass your insecurity and jealousy issues with it onto your children, instead teach them to be confident and imposer them to have their own party and make new friends.[/quote]

This post sounds like you may be the one with the deep seeded issues because why would you write up such a long post about someone that has nothing to do with this thread? Strange.[/quote]
