[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk about the weathe, sports or the govt melting down.

I also find it mindnumbing to listen to stories about their errands.[/quote]
I remember our nanny calling in sick one day so I took my daughter to dance class.  I was waiting for class to get out and ended up listening to the moms compare which HomeGoods had better stock and when each HomeGoods restocked so you could go look for the best stuff.  I couldn't believe anyone had time for that.  Totally mind numbing.  [/quote]

There are also aspects of your job or life that would be "totally mind numbing" to hear you discuss.

Once I was at a dinner party where all the two-income families spent an hour discussing negotiating nanny contracts. I was bored out of my skull.

This is not a SAHM v. WOHM thing. This is about some people with a shared job/lifestyle sharing some details about that job/lifestyle that you can't relate to and don't matter to you. That's a good time for you to pull out a book or your phone and MYOB. Would you be as derisive if it was a group of diplomats discussing the ins and outs of their health insurance? Something diplomats do! It's still boring but I see why they'd want to talk to each other about it.[/quote]
