Please keep reading 'til the end.
I am (was?) one of those soccer moms. I even had a mini-van until it died (and I couldn't get another one, cause they don't make them with standard transmissions anymore.)
I have a pretty nice house in a very nice neighborhood.

I drove my van *full* of girls (only one was my kid) to soccer practices and games. Why? Two reasons - their parants didn't want to, or couldn't, but more important I found out a *lot* about what the girls were up to just by driving.
Why do I have a nice house in that neighborhood? My old house was almost paid for, but the schools were going down so I moved to get to a better school district.

BUT I *do* understand what you are talking about. A lot of my neighbors are pretty shallow. One time I participated in hosting a (big formal) party for my daughter's class. During the decorating, all the other moms talked about was who lived in which "mansion" and what so-and-so just got.
I couldn't get out of there quick enough.
{now I drive an SUV - it's a couple of years old: the last year they made them in with a standard transmission}
