We touched on this in another thread, but the thing is there's hierarchies and "tiers" even in kids' activities, among the moms.
Say a kid loves baseball and HATES soccer...but soccer is the "in" thing run by all the "in" parents and the Little League isn't. Some parents in that case won't even let their kids try out for LL.
I have nothing against SAHMs but there are ones who perpetuate this kind of crap who really need to go GET A FREAKIN JOB.
Disclaimer: I do not have children or run in these circles. I absorb enough of it through my friends and Facebook.
