[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think grouping entire neighborhoods into one category may be a bit extreme.

And you may be reading a bit much into an afternoon birthday party. Often, parents have afternoon birthday parties because people (both nannies and parents) find it easier to go straight from pick-up. Which is much easier for people who live far away from the school, like I do. [/quote]

Either way you are clueless.  It's makes no sense to have a mid week party and it should be expected that many kids for a variety of reasons won't be able to attend, ie two working parents, older siblings after school activities etc.  And I've only seen SAHM's pull this so I think that says something.  As to St. Pat's, I have friends who have kids there, they are lovely but as noted[b] there is certainly a a cliquey snobby mean mom contingent that is much more prevalent at St. Pats than at any other school.  [/b]My vote is NPS.  It's a really lovely school, never met a parent I didn't like. [/quote]

My kids are in middle school and this mean mom element was prevalent at St. Pats a decade ago.  What is it with this school?   When my kids were in preschool all the ice queens sent their kids on to St. Pats.  The type of moms who would look through you as of you were invisible when you said hello even though you had met them 6 times before and your kids had 3 play dates together.  Mostly SAHMs married to finance or commercial real estate guys.  Completely ignored the rest of us who weren't cut from their exact cloth.  This crowd all sent their kids on to St. Pats and apparently still are now--10 years later!  Crazy.   I'm sure there are lots of lovely families at the school but in my experience it was ground zero for snobbery in NW DC.
