[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly have not experienced much cliquishness like this among middle aged women. Occasionally I'll meet two women who are friends with each other and don't seem interested in talking to anyone else. But when it's just two, it doesn't feel like a clique to me even if the effect might still be to leave others out or be harder to approach.

But I definitely find women in this age group (40s, with kids) to be harder to talk to and approach than younger women. I don't know exactly why, as I'm in that age group. Maybe less smiley, less patient, less overall interest in forming friendships? But I don't take it personally, even though there are times when I think it would be easier for everyone to just put in a tiny bit of effort.[/quote]

Meh.  Most of the moms are very cliquish in our neighborhood and schools.  Especially towards POC/Asians[/quote]

Really?  I find the Asians to be incredibly cliquish.  They don’t want their kids hanging out with non-Asian kids!  My half-Asian kid is at a Magnet program that is heavily Asian and the parents really only talk to other Asian parents.  [/quote]
