[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster - I'm a full time working mom (attorney) and I've never had issues with making friends with stay at home moms. I don't like talking about my job anyways, so why does it matter? I've met SAHPs who are just as intellectual and interesting as any working parent. Other than saying things like "work was busy this week!" I just don't bring up my job when we have conversations because I'm sure they don't have any interest in my job.[/quote]

I’m pp SAHM and I have mostly friends like you. My friends mostly work. Some are high powered at the top of their industries going down all the way to working at the school for minimum wage and everything in between. We will laugh and cry together, celebrate the wins and be there for one another when times are tough. Almost all the friends I have, both male and female, seem to look forward to retirement, including my husband. He will probably work another 5 years and semi retire. Several of our frirnds are middle aged and semi retired.[/quote]

Similar experience here but to be fair most people are insecure and their work is their identity not in a productive way but as a tag which gives them right to exist. They wouldn't know what to do with themselves or how to introduce themselves without their job title. [/quote]
