[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all just wanna form your social lives from your kids, your kids’ schools and the friends of your kids’ parents.

It’s not gonna work.  Life can be long, and the school years for your kids are fleeting.  You need to make your own friends and forge your own lives, and the way to do that is to stop obsessing over money, work and achievements and start living real lives instead of living through your kids.

Maybe the parents who ignore you at school functions are doing that.   To them, you’re no different than a stranger on the metro. [/quote]

Why do you assume people who are casually chatting with you at your kids' school want to be friends with you and obsess over money and work achievements? This is the kind of take I'd expect from someone who isn't very socially intelligent. It's just small talk. It's not that deep. [/quote]

Except some people are uninterested in small talk.  As is their right.  [/quote]

Obviously it's their right.  Just like it's obviously other people's right to find that behavior odd.[/quote]
