[quote=Anonymous]I have an MBA and have an impressive resume before deciding to go more mommy track- but was working for a dot bomb and then had my first baby-  went to SAHM  for two years (then had my second) - and met people through moms clubs but it just seems like we didn't have that much in common- we had our kids and developmental age issues- but in general- the only ones I became closer to were ones that had once a career and truly thought they would pursue this later.  So- after two years, I get a consulting gig p/t for a former employer (and WFH)- and this works great- until the economy crumbles and DH loses his job and severance dries up - I am offered a great paying family friendly job.. So- fast forward.. I have a kindergartner starting and I feel like there are less opportunities to participate and help out.  I have been to pre-K playdates by our PTA where i am friends with SAHMs and once a new person meets me as a WM they just ignore me.  I am not in grade school so I don't care- but I do care about being involved in my child's school and IF there is a social impact to her ( I would think more playdates) .   Before anyone makes a judgmental statement about me and how maybe I'm not that accepted- I have really met those from former Preschools  and misc- and we all get along well.  And my K is well liked- I've seen it at lunch times (I go in to help with purchasing since it's a new thing in a big school but she's got a group of sweet girls that are all really nice to each other and help each other).  So- are other moms in Vienna experiencing this (as WM or SAHM)?[/quote]
