Is she talking to an adult while this happens? Or maybe trying to get some
adult conversation and not wanting to be tied up?

No. Usually she is sitting with her kids nearby. DS likes older boys
so tries to "hang out" with them. Her son sort of pushes him away or
ignores him which is a red flag to me, too.


Maybe she's an introvert, is a little ovewhelmed by an expectation that she talk
to everybody and their kids, too, and is forming relationships at her pace. Are
the kids she does talk to those of the Moms she does talk to?

I guess I have really only seen her talk to a couple of Moms and their
kids. She has been part of this group longer than I have, so I don't
really know.


There's so much to this that is subjective.

Yes, there is. It's just weird, though.
