[quote=Anonymous]Echoing some of the others: 1) Ignore DCUM - they judge everyone. 2) Try not to put working parents on the defensive by suggesting that there is a best or better way to be a parent. Your statement about why you want to be home with your kids is great because it is very specific to you. 3) Understand that when you do make friends with WOH parents, their time is going to be limited, but that doesn't mean they don't want to form a friendship. I had a great friend who was a SAH mother when I was working. I loved spending time with her, but her regular invitations for me to "play hookey" from work to get together with her were stressful.[/quote]
