Yepper. I am friends with some mom's of preschool aged kids (like 2 and 3 year olds) and they say it is totally ridiculous.

Example: Suzie's mom dresses fabulously, has a Saks private shopper, and a cool condo in Hilton Head that they visit for summer. Her older son Bobby also goes to the best private school in the area (where Hubby is a big deal donor). She is always first to volunteer for everything at Suzie's preschool and the teachers really like her. She also has a gathering over summer at said condo for all her BFF mom's and their kids.

Becky's mom is your average stay-at-home mom. Not alot of new clothes, dresses ok. She notices how all the other mom's ask Suzie's mom for parentng advice and think she's perfect. She also notices that she hosts these fab shopping trips and trips to the condo. She wants to be more like them. Oh, and her son goes to the same school that she would like her older son Timmy to go to--perhaps they could put in a good word with admissions next year.

So, Becky's mom might sign up to volunteer at a school event where Suzie's mom will be working. She's strategically place Becky near where little Suzie is playing, in an attempt to strike up a convo, hoping that it will eventally lead to "hey we have a playdate on this date with a few other girls, wanna come?"

Yes, it's very similar to sitting behind Regina George in HS in hopes that she will talk to you.
