[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve come to realize staying at home isn’t for me. I’m transitioning out of the house and diving into a passion of mine-educationally that is. Anyways, I love talking with other people who enjoy debates, academia etc. The mom friends I have are the reverse. They are past this stage and if they could, they would stay at home. They enjoy talking about diapers, kid things. I find myself getting bored with talking too much about motherhood related things. Sometimes I feel like I need to fake it more to not come across so bored when someone is talking about Jrs. sleep regression. How do I balance being a mom and being intellectually stimulated ? Some women get it but I find it’s not the majority. Although the women I’m friends with are amazing and in managerial positions, they don’t love their job; it’s a job that pays the bills.  So their kid is everything they want to talk about and I can’t always find interest in that. 
Tips ?... I will say I have childless friends and we do dive into debates but I see them once a month.

PREACH! Same.

I'm just hunkered down until the kids get to elementary school. Then I plan on working again, at least part-time. In the meantime, I listen to a lot of public radio and various podcasts because it's something I can do while caring for babies.[/quote]
