[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is fascinating. The idea that one of my neighbors would somehow have any say on my family's social life is really odd. But, we've never really tried to be friends with people in our neighborhood, so maybe we're missing out on a whole mess of vipers? [/quote]

PP with the crazy neighborhood here. So a few factors are at play - 1) The neighborhood is smaller and features a pretty heavily social neighborhood center. 2) Everyone knows everyone in the neighborhood and many people recognize that the social engineering/gatekeeping couple are crazy. However, the issue is families with kids in elementary school are the ones most impacted by the couple. Joe Blow whose kids are in college can say “Anna and Todd are raging lunatics and I’m not going to involve myself in their shenanigans.” However, those with elementary age kids quickly realize that you fall in line or be exiled. It does sound like a telenova, but it’s the truth. I should write a book![/quote]
