[quote=Anonymous]Honestly it sounds like you’re mocking parents who are involved in the communal aspects of their kids lives because you don’t feel like you belong. I’ve had a complex like yours, but I do try to participate in things to the extent that it benefits my child. It good for them to be asked to participate in activities with friends, and to have playdates, especially before they’re old enough to pursue those things independently.

I can be intimidated by some of the parents who are more established non first time moms, or who are more at ease socially, wealthier, more put together, more successful, have more household help, are stay at home moms, whatever - but generally I’ve found that any perceived unfriendliness is more of a misconception on my part. And if people don’t have an interest in being friends with me, that’s fine too. I’ve made some parent friends and many nice acquaintances. Making friends through your kids friends and activities shouldn’t be your main goal, but I’d say that acting uninterested in your young child’s friends parents/families is also kind of snobby, even if that’s not your intention.
