My DW says that SAHMs are nervous about developing relationships with SAHDs because they could easily become more than plutonic.

There are a lot of SAHDs in the neighborhood I live in now. I do not in any way question their parenting skills. I am, however, more hesitant to invite them over one-on-one just because of the intimacy that happens around the childcare environment--but I'd easily and happily invite them over in big-group playdate kinds of things (which is what I typically hosted, e.g., "Open House Playdate from 9-11").

Don't hesitate to reach out, invite one or two or more moms over.  The more you do it, the more likely you'll be to find a few moms who'll respond... and your circle of friends will increase!  Taking the initiative is key, here.[/quote]

PS: I live in Seattle.  SAHD are very common, here.  There is no stigma, at least among my friends and acquaintances, and I think in general if someone has a problem with it, they're kind of considered square throwbacks.  There's an active Dads group at my daughter's elementary school, too, and a gay parents are also welcomed and take leadership roles in the school and classrooms.  It's just a different vibe, even in my uptight (relatively speaking) professional neighborhood.  I'm just saying, you might consider moving out here...  :)[/quote]
