Yes, it is rude not at least to acknowledge someone, though.

DP. Actually if you have multiple kids with 1-2 games each a week that is a lot of hours to be uncomfortable! So great it doesn’t affect you but clearly it affects op and others who sit and deal with these rude people and their very loud and fake cackling laugh.

Aren't you primarily there to watch the game?

DP. Of course they are but are you that obtuse to not be able to acknowledge how it may feel for someone to sit alone when a group of parents are all sitting together nearby and making it clear to op they are not welcome? Come on how can you not understand her feelings? Are you part of the mean mom group?

DP. Idk. I’m not at all part of the social mom crowd but at sports events I politely nod to people at most. I’m there to watch the game! I don’t think I’ve even ever noticed who is sitting with someone else.

I’m puzzled by what people are reporting here. Not doubting it, just puzzled by how it even happens.

Do you sit by yourself? Does anyone talk to you?

I sit by myself or with my DH, typically. I’m not sure what you mean by talk, I mean I will nod if I pass someone or say hi, but otherwise don’t tend to have much in the way of conversation. Maybe I am not getting how I am excluded but it’s not something I’ve ever really even noticed. I guess next season I will look for this though!

Yet, it is the private school thread. More evidence that you're a troll trying to stir up trouble. Your head aches because you are a liar and lying sucks out all of your energy.

Bye bye, troll. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.

Wow. I hope you’re not a mom at any of my kids schools. Keep it trashy Pp.

Huh? PP is right. OP is a douche and a troll.

DP. I’ve actually been to several sporting events and back to school events this year and believe it or not I’ve heard other parents say they like the school but don’t like the parent community at our school either. These are friends that say it in confidence so maybe it’s not something they would announce but I don’t know why it’s so difficult for you to believe? And yes we are at a big three and I know several people that don’t like the parent community and are literally counting the days until their kid graduates.

I think some of the pp are clearly part of the mean parent group and are afraid they are being publicly called out although no one is naming schools so I think maybe a guilty conscience needs no accuser? Otherwise there is no explanation for their responses.

Do you all lack reading comprehension?

Seriously. I can’t understand how people can miss so much when they read. This seems … quite clear.

I don’t think anyone really cares whether op is a Troll or not because several other people are sharing their own experiences so people are responding to those. You need to ask yourself why does this thread trigger you so much?

I don't care whether OP is a troll. But if another poster think so and calls out OP's BS (in this case, not without reason), I also don't think that poster should be called "trashy". Does that explain it, armchair psychologist?

+1

The “trashy” epithet is so extreme and crazy reactionary.

As is calling OP a liar.

Not really. Given OPs posts, that’s a quite rational conclusion. “Trashy” is just an extreme epithet, though.

So translation: namecalling you like and agree with, fine ("liar" is your opinion, not a fact, as you don't know OP). Namecalling against you or those who agree with you -- pearl clutching ensues.

Go pound sand. NP.

You seem calm and not at all crazy.

Do you think you may be overestimating how much effort they are actually putting in to exclude you?
