[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I weren't able to have kids.  (We tried everything and then some.)  At work, and in our circle of friends, the women with kids really have a sort of lovely community of sorts.  How do women like this see women without kids?  [/quote]

Speaking for myself, I appreciate so many people who are kind to my kids (like aunts). 
What I hope for is a little bit of understanding when I am tired or worried.

I work with someone who doesn't have kids and always tries to schedule meetings at odds time of day because of traffic. 
I pointed out I had a kid on a medication schedule that would enable me to make it to work on time and to stay for 40-45 hours a week, but not to arrive an hour before work, unless someone else helped me with morning routine (I drop my kids off on the way to work). I want to work during the work day, and (actively) parent during non-work hours.

No avail.  That kind of thing is a challenge.

Also, mom world can be like a middle school lunch table, although it looks warm from the outide.

I hope a circle of women (moms and not moms) finds you through books, art or some other community. A good friend has a woman's biking group.  They are a unit.

When a mom friend is sick, I really try to  share the parenting burden (driving/playdates) but to be honest, I don't look after HER, I just try to take things off her plate. Hope that makes sense. [/quote]
