[quote=Anonymous]Just be nice to everyone. When your kids are little, odds are you'll meet mostly SAHM's and nannies because you'll be able to go to classes, playgrounds etc during the work day. Just like when my kid was in daycare, I knew mostly working moms because that's where I met other moms with kids that age. Now that my kids are in school, they have friends with working parents and friends with SAH parents. I've never felt particularly judged--but it is sometimes hard to make friends with the SAHM who all had their kids at the same part time pre-school so have known each other for years. So, I guess I'd say just be nice and welcoming of everyone. Don't plan all your playdates for weekdays when they can't make it. On the flip side--don't assume that they don't want to or won't bother to be involved with school events. I love chaperoning and have lots of vacation time to volunteer. [/quote]
