I don’t have any school parents talk to me and my eldest is just going into year 3.

I work (and I’m quite possibly the only working single parent there) so I only pick up three days a week and a child minder picks up the others days. So not sure if that’s why.’



To be honest I really really hate chit chat with people a vaguely know it just always feels so awkward so in a way I’m glad they don’t speak to me.



Also even if you do make friends with the mums it’s not to say your life will be any better I’m constantly hearing the CF ‘cool’ mums at school asking the less confident mums who are trying to fit in ‘is there any way you can pick up little Sebastian for me every Friday?’



So poor Jen who was just trying to fit in gets lumbered with slap happy Sebastian once a week, who pees on the toilet seat and chases the family cat not my cup of tea at all.

Just put some head phones in your ears and listen to music.



If you are wanting to make friends in general though, not just with the school mums. You’d be much better joining a hobby you enjoy. At least you’ll meet like minded people that way and not just people who’s only thing in common with you is they have children the same age. Conversations will dry up pretty quick if that’s all you have to talk about.
