Anyone else feel socially awkward in mom groups but not in the other parts of life?

Yes.

Huh. The mommy/baby groups I did with all three kids were a good mix of African-American, Asian, Latina, and White women. Go figure.

It’s going to depend on where you live and your SES. There aren’t any poor women doing it, even if they SAH. And if you live in an area with middle class whites and poor poc, guess who you will see meeting at the park and Starbucks most weekday mornings?

Well, I'd rather your group.

The one I did (and was referring to) was through Holy Cross and cost $15. It wasn't a PACE group in Potomac.

So, no, mom's groups are not a "white women thing."
