This is the OP-yeah, I know I need to do this but it's been hard time-wise. I feel guilty if I'm not spending most of my time off with my son. My son's friends' parents seem like nice people but everyone is so busy and at kids' parties, playdates, etc. it's hard to get beyond the superficial. I like my co-workers but it's not an office where people tend to socialize at lunch.

I know this is slightly off topic, but I had no idea before I had a kid how competitive childrearing is for many women and how much judgement there is when you make different choices. It's exhausting. My husband doesn't have this issue with his friends-men just don't get into that stuff with each other. The judgement starts during pregnancy (I drank a small amount of coffee every now and then when I was pregnant and there were some women who loved to comment on it) and never seems to end. I guess I was naive but I didn't think it would be this way. [/quote]
