[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 50 and have a grade schooler and high schoolers. I'm always friendly to the younger moms. I say "hi" with a smile and that's it. I do my own thing. The more interesting thing to me is that I've gotten a vibe from a few of my child's teachers (the ones in their late 20s) that they are, for lack of a better word, a little intimidated by my seniority. It's hard to explain. I'm always friendly, but the young teachers will call the other moms by their first name and I am always "Mrs. so and so". Even after I've told them they can call me by my first name. I suppose it's a small sign of respect, but it feels distancing and off-putting at the same time. I'm 50, not 100.
