[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - if they are talking to you about AAP and travel sports, they actually think they are looking out for you. I don't want my kids in AAP or travel sports, but if they didn't like you at all, they would be ignoring you completely -- not filling you in on how things work.[/quote]

NP and decades long 22181 resident. The hyper focus on AAP and travel sports are always the subject of conversation because of the obsession parents have with both and they’ll likely tell you honestly that they moved to Vienna for one or the other. The unfair assumption all tend to make is that you too are most certainly just as interested. The talk (starts in kindergarten) at the bus stop, neighborhood gatherings and every school function is non stop chat about classes, prep (to get into AAP), activities, teachers. I didn’t want to talk on and on about my DC and wondered if these parents had any interests beyond their DC. Kept meeting more and more boring parents who were ultra competitive.

I didn’t fit it at all for the longest time. Took until one DC was in HS to find a group of like minded mom friends.
