....just because i know that her DD is the most popular kid in his class, its a little bit of social engineering on my part the mum is also really popular with all the other mums and if i become friends with her then that will gain him access to other social stuff that she organises. i don't much like her tbh, she comes across as a bit of a busybody and quite nosey, but i can grit my teeth for ds, right :o ?
she friend-requested me on FB at the start of the summer hols and said we must sort out meeting with the kids.
and if i can kind of, steer him in the direction of the popular kids, it can only be a good thing, right? he is already a pretty confident little boy, and good in social situations and also luckily we live next door to one of the other popular children in his class and he is really good pals with her. i just think it does kids the world of good to be popular at school - i think it tends to carry over into success and happiness in adulthood, ie confidence in the workplace, success finding relationships and forming friendships etc.
i was NOT popular at school and had a really shit time, in fact, at 31 i sometimes think i am still not over it even now.
am i being a twat?
