[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you don't have friends to call on in a pinch. I do. And I'm happy to do it for others -- SAHM or not. I offer, in fact. And my friends take me up on it. Maybe people don't like you so they don't offer. I don't know. All the moms I know are happy to do it whether it's reciprocated or not. I've met my friends' kids off the bus, picked them up from school, driven them to friend's offices. You name it. Moms who work seem to see this giant divide between the highly important work they do and the yoga-pants wearing SAHMs. The thing is: I have worked when my kids were little. Now I'm home. And I will work again. SAHM isn't a permanent condition. [/quote]

Wow.

You took my comment about how I doubt WOHMs are always calling that person to pick up their kids at aftercare and have now derived that I have no friends who I can call on in a pinch?  And that people don't like me?

Well aren't you pleasant (and perhaps a tad bit insecure?).

And just for the record.  I have just as many WOHM friends as SAHM friends.  I also have a nanny, so I have the luxury of flexible childcare.  I also volunteer at my kids school and hang out for coffee with the SAHMs every so often.  My only point is that I don't usually call on them to pick up my kids b/c I don't need to and none of the WOHMs I know need their SAHM friends to do so either.  We have alternatives in place, including lots of family around.

Good luck getting back into the work force.  Hopefully when you do start working, you'll be able to step back and realize that there is no need to have such anger towards people who choose a different path in life than you.[/quote]
