I'm on the fringe of it, and... that's where I'd like to stay. In the group enough to occasionally be included in a group text and hear the gossip about what's going on at school and invited to fundraisers, but not to group vacations or birthday parties. It's been helpful for hearing about activities and extracurriculars for my kid (pre-Covid anyway)

I once heard one mom gush to another, “you’re the most popular mom in the school yearbook!”

Nope. I left the drama in middle school.

I am so far removed from these things that I never knew, and will probably never know, who was/is supposed to be "popular".

My oldest is a teen and he doesn't have a clue either.

It's one less thing to worry about.

I’m a biglaw attorney. I feel very frozen out of the SAHM/mommy track clique at my kids’ private. I don’t even think about it 95% of the time (I’m a younger mom and most of my friends are still childless so I have a busy social life) but I do feel the sting at school events.

No but I couldn’t even identify this group of moms at my child’s school. Sounds like something that might happen in the suburbs?

Haha, no

I don’t know what that is.

I am sorry, but whatever are you prattling on about?

I wouldn’t even know who those people are.

In all seriousness though the popular mom cliques in the DC area are people that are total losers anywhere else. So I’m good.

No. The only people who care about that are in that group. It’s very self inflated.

No because I’m not 12.

I’m curious if people aspire to this and why?
