[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom with two kids. I have lots of friends, and if I get even a whiff of someone giving me the cold shoulder b/c of my situation, I either proceed as though they weren't, or just drop it. I'm comfortable with my life. I am not interested in anyone else's husband. Yuck. Most adults know the difference b/w being friendly and flirting. We're not talking about walking up to a guy in a bar. Playgrounds, games, school functions, etc. I treat the other parents like I would anyone in a social setting. I do think your statement of disdain about the other mothers may be the key to your issue. I dress stylishly and appropriately. Always have, even when married. If someone doesn't dress well or take care of themselves, I don't think less of them. Different priorities, different interests. No big deal. As one of the PPs mentioned, however, I am not typically included or invited to adult parties and events by parents of other kids. If I knew these people before marriage or while married, maybe...but generally not. I guess I'm ok with that. It makes sense, but more of a singleton vs. they think I'm going to make a move on their hubby. I do have a boyfriend, but a lot of the time the schedules don't match up or the other parents don't know (which is fine by me).[/quote]
