Not DD1, who is loving every second, but me!!!!
DD1 goes to out of school club three days a week, so I am wondering if that might have something to do with it, but I am really struggling with the whole playground thing. Other mothers, even those whose children have made friends with DD1, seem, aside from two exceptions, to just look through me! I smile, say hello, they avert their eyes and then their darling offspring are led away. I can normally talk to anyone so I am finding this very odd. A number of children went to a pre-school nearby that my DD1 didn't, so there seems to be a bit of a clique. I'm worried that DD1 will find she doesn't get invited to parties etc. as I'm not part of this clique: I had a similar experience myself (oddly enough at the same school!).
I've said I'd like to join the PTA but so far all of the meetings have been on evenings I can't attend, so that's probably out, so is there anything else I can do? Will this get easier as the year progresses and as DD1 makes firmer friendships? I dread the days I take and pick her up!
