[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a working mom and I’ve been friendly with both.  I do think sometimes that SAHMs bond because they can go for a run or coffee or whatever at 10 am.  They seem more likely to develop female friendships that are not couple based, which I do envy.

But honesrltly OP I think you just are being weirdly defensive about your life choices.  Can your kids read yet?  Maybe the one who is less high energy would like to come home and just read a book after school.  My youngest is very introverted and would turn into angry Hulk if she stayed that long at before/after care.  She’d rather go home and sit in her room for a few hours to unwind before dinner.  That’s the beauty of WFH — you can let a kid do that or even just watchTV if they don’t like aftercare.  [/quote]

+1 I love this about WFH. We do aftercare but only for part of the time. I bring DS home and he likes to draw, color, look at books, play with toys etc. for a bit while I finish up work.

Toddler age not so much (they need constant attention not conducive to work!), but by elementary this is a nice mix (some socializing and activities at aftercare plus downtime ay home).[/quote]
