being forced to make awkward small talk with the other moms and nannies as they wait outside for the kids. “I get along,” she says, sincerely. “[With] the moms at the school pick-up, it’s ‘Hello, how are you?’ But it’s not friends friends. I like quality over quantity.”
I think this describes most school pick-ups. Small talk. I don’t recall it being a place to pick-up new ‘friends’. Most people already have those by the time their children are in school.
Really? Some of my best friends are moms I met at the pick up line and afterschool activities. Still are now that the kids are grown.
