[quote=Anonymous]Don’t worry, OP. Just be genuine and be yourself, and make friends. The crazies on DCUM on both sides of the WOH/SAH debate don’t have friends in real life, so they construct fantasy worlds where they are the heroes on their own narratives. That’s why you hear them talking negatively about daycares or nannies or SAHMs who are bad role models or whatever. They have to rely very heavily on their fantasy world where their choices make them the unabashed protagonist of that fantasy world, because they are compensating for the lack of trustworthy community. They have to reduce the complexity of the real world into a series of inaccurate heuristics to get through their days because, at heart, they’re really lonely and sad people. If you work to befriend a diverse group of parents, and you do the work to create community, you won’t fall into this, and those friends won’t see you as one of the crazies. [/quote]
