[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our friend group started off centered around the kids and then as they developed their own friends, interests, we have mostly managed to keep the friendships. I will admit that certain times get awkward, and I could imagine that 12th grade is one of those. There was a sports team that a few tried out for and only a couple made it. Similarly, next year they will finish college. A couple will likely go to “top tier” schools and others will go to local or community college. At least one may not go to college at all. Which is totally fine, of course. But I would understand if the mom
Wants to take a break from all the college talk then. I think we would connect back but I understand when people have stressors that impact their friendships. [/quote]

I made a lot of friends when my kids were younger. We were new to dc and made many family friends. We are a very academically focused family. DH and I are ivy educated and have high standards for our children. Our friends vary in their views, kids’ abilities, etc. I try not to talk about my kids too much because it may sound like bragging.[/quote]

Agree with PP.  You sound insufferable.

I'd definitely distance myself from you.  I don't need you to constantly compare and measure your kids' worth next to mine, or your parenting or ivy degrees next to me.  I went to University of Nebraska (or equivalent) and live next to you (or your type).  I'm just as rich as you and my kids have strengths and stretches, just like yours do. They attend the same Big 3 (or so) as your kids, maybe even do the same extracurriculars.  Yet, you want to compete,  so you can feel better than us - wierd.[/quote]
