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.

Why is that a rational conclusion? No new parents dislike the parent community at their child’s school? And note PPs calling OP a lying troll after only OP’s original post.

Do you always jump to such extreme conclusions? Are you the one who called people trashy too?

Of course new parents can dislike the community. Nobody said they couldn’t, your histrionics aside. But what OP posted seems off. Her kids are in high school, not elementary. It’s barely been two weeks, maybe a month at best. At most private high schools, at most OP has been to maybe one parent coffee or something, possibly a parent coffee and maybe a BTSN event. Meanwhile OP says she is “miserable” while her kids seem happy.

If OP is truly miserable, that’s an extreme reaction for the small amount of contact she’s had. How can she reasonably be “miserable” after maybe two parent events of maybe an hour each? It doesn’t pass the sniff test. I’d actually believe the post a bit better if it was made in February or something, or if it was from a parent of young elementary schoolers. But a couple of weeks into a high schoolers year? It’s rational to be skeptical.

No where did OP say this is her first year at the school.
I could have written her post and my kid is a sophomore. It's year #2 for us of not fitting in and being snubbed at events.

Also, some schools have had a dozen or more parent-attended events by now, especially if your kid is on a sports team. I have not even gone to all the parent events but I've been to my kid's high school for events at least 8-10 times this school year. This is a Big3.

I think I know what school you are at and it is not you and you are not alone. Is this a school where a very insular identifiable crowd only sits and talks to each other at all school events and games? I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way but you’re not alone so many people I know feel this way.

OK, for the 100th time.

The thing is that the other parents ARE REFUSING TO HAVE POLITE CONVERSATIONS.

I'm one of the previous posters at a Big3 school that has a lot of social events/sporting events.
I'm not looking to make my new BFFs. But it sucks when at every game/parent event/BTS night, etc I get looked through like I don't exist by a large sector of the parents--including many I have met before (often multiple times).


I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE POLITE CONVERSATIONS. In fact, that's all i want. THAT is the issue.
There are schools (or grades within schools) where a decent chunk of the parent body will not talk to others unless they are of a certain financial/social standing. As in, they won't even have a 2 minutes chit-chat.
