[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a young woman I experienced a lot of situations where I was intentionally pushed out of social groups. It was painful and eye opening, and I vowed that I would always go out of my way to be inclusive, kind and outgoing as I could so that other women didn’t have to experience the same thing.

Fast forward to being a mom with elementary aged children. I had something of a glow up and confidence boost along the way and really love to see women support each other and have a ton of fun together in this new phase of our lives. For awhile things felt great.

But being in the soccer mom and PTA crowd these days just doesn’t feel good. It seems that socially a lot of women are more interested in moms that have something of a haughty or exclusive air about them. Being open and fun just isn’t what seems to give you social capital. I don’t even think it’s having the ability to offer your friends box seats or something like that. It seems like you just kind of need to be…a little catty be seen as important or worthy.

And no, I’m not annoying or obnoxious, because I know a lot of replies will go there immediately. I’m just trying to understand why a lot of women are attracted to this kind of dynamic. I thought we were all past that by now. Anyone else see or experience this?[/quote]

Are the woman at your place of work different from the school moms? [/quote]

OP here. Yes, they are terrific. [/quote]
