[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I did have coffee with one of the moms this morning and she is married. She's had kids at the school for six years and she wanted to be helpful in acclimating me to how everything operates given that I had the look of a deer caught in headlights at the first day of school and orientation. She knew I was a single dad and would feel like a fish out of water when it came to things like play dates which is somewhat true. At the same time I'm pretty sure that on behalf of the other moms she wanted to make sure I wasn't some kind of weirdo they should be concerned about. She was very nice and I told her I really appreciated the time. [/quote]

Sorry, that seems very odd.  It is PRESCHOOL.  There isn’t much to it and what there is, the teacher tells you.  I’ve never heard of a another parent needing a mommy mentor to navigate preschool.  And make sure you aren’t a weirdo??  Most of the kids there have dads, right?  There is absolutely nothing at all unusual about a dad taking his child to preschool or volunteering.   She is sizing you up...for something.  [/quote]

I think you need to chill out. After six years she probably plays the role of the queen bee. OP thought she was nice, why can’t you? [/quote]

A lot of families have more than one child and spend several yrs going to preschool, this is common and doesn’t make her Queen Bee of anything. Does this mom take out all the other mothers of kids  in their first yr of preschool to coffee individually so she can be sure to acclimate them?  Or only the dads?  [/quote]
