What is CP? I agree if you meant CA. And at CA you aren't allowed to not be a part of click moms or your child will suffer.Amen x 100. That whole “family” thing goes out the window pretty quick if you leave the gym or even question the service you’re paying to receive.
I have never seen anything like it. Livng vicariously through their children is a very sad way to live. Especially since child do as their parents (ie. look like them when they get older).
My parents did not socialize with the other parents at my sports when I was child and I definitely felt isolated because of it. So I make an effort to get to know some people at CP's gym/school/any other activity. YMMV.
I would guess that I am maybe in the lobby for about a half hour a week. I use that time to touch base with people, ask if there is any news/emails that I may have missed. We don't have a viewing area so that cuts down on a lot of the drama between parents. We see the fruits of their labor at comps, but don't see the day to day work that goes on at practice, classes or privates. There are definitely people that don't like each other, but they keep it quiet. I can honestly say that I am not aware of any parents causing drama or toxic parents at the gym.
My advice to anyone dealing with a snarky person at their gym would be to ignore this person while maintaining a neutral body language. Just play dumb like you don't know that they are being rude. They will leave you alone if they think that you are not upset by their comments or actions.
