[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you say hello? Did you converse with them for any other purpose than to ask them to volunteer? Do you host group play dates at your house and make your kid invite someone new? I’m a single mom and I work full time. My kid was also neurodivergent so it’s not like there were tons do people beating down our door for play dates, meetups, and I’m not around for the 10 am coffee meetups of the other moms. Thankfully there were a couple of kids whose parents I worked with so we would meet up on weekends or on school holidays because we would coordinate and chat at work. I also would reach out at church, but most of the invites I put out there were attended but not reciprocated.

It’s really hard in this area for adults to find new friendships. So why are you looking at people wandering around your school that you don’t know and judging them when they’re the outsiders?[/quote]

If it makes you feel better, I volunteer constantly and attend their 10 am coffee meetups and they still don't invite my child because "he doesn't seem to be friends with the other boys. Maybe he should try more sports with them."  Openly talk about parties thrown for "all the boys" right in front of me knowing my son isn't invited. Their number one priority is their own kids popularity.[/quote]

Who has time for this high school stuff?! Do you all work?[/quote]
