[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another one here who is involved in the school, hosts playdates, lives in the "cool" neighborhood is is excluded.

I also agree with PP that I've been much happier since I stopped tried to get myself included. Turning 40 helped too. Fewer f&%$# to give. [/quote]

I don’t even know who the cool moms are so I guess I am definitely not one of them.

I am friendly with some moms from school and sports. We don’t go out drinking but we chit chat and hang out at games, school functions and some parties.

I have my own friends and hang out with them without kid. They are just friends, not mom friends even though they are all moms.[/quote]

Me too. Although I can definitely think of a woman who really really wants to be a cool mom in our neighborhood! It’s sort of painful to watch [/quote]

What a catty thing to say. You are the problem.[/quote]

I guess this did sound catty. I actually meant I feel really bad for her. She’s very insecure and image focused and doesn’t seem happy [/quote]

Pitying her from afar in way that makes you feel better about yourself is still catty, sorry.

When you see someone making choices you don't understand but that don't hurt anyone, you need to just learn to assume you don't have enough context to get it. It's fine. You don't need to draw conclusions about them or feel sorry for them or whatever. You can just accept that you lack the necessary information to understand why they behave the way they do, and set your own boundaries according to your comfort levels with them.

You actually do not have to evaluate strangers or psychoanalyzes them or whatever. This is not a requirement of life.[/quote]

Take your own advice. [/quote]
