Marie Claire magazine featured an article in its May 2007 edition about a certain motherâ€™s club that exists in Japan. This club supposedly is composed of mothers within a community. Membership to the club is believed to be essential to oneâ€™s childâ€™s success in school and in the community with regards to access to opportunity. Apparently, membership comes with opened doors to good schools and good services. Much like being in a high school clique.

It is a difficult task to get accepted into the club. One must be deemed acceptable by the members of the club and especially approved by the boss mom. Oneâ€™s manners, clothes, income, friends, way of life is scrutinized and judged.

Going against the group is social suicide.
