[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In elementary school, I came in from work to see one of the performances that kids do for some holiday.  One of the SAHMs saw me and looked me up and down in my suit and asked if I had to go back to work after the show.  So I said that yes I have afternoon court appearances so I would be heading out after the post show "reception."  She responded, "Well, it's so nice that she got to see you for an hour today.  I am sure that really means a lot!"  It really hurt my feelings back then.  Now I would laugh and say oh she would tell you she sees far too much of me.

Why are people like this? The sniping and meanness. I truly don't get it. I can't imagine talking this way to another mom. If I met a mom at a school even who told me she had court later that day, I'd be like "oh cool, what kind of law do you practice?" And if I met a SAHM who'd spent the whole day at the school I'd be like "wow, that's so great that you help out when you can, do you have older kids at the school too?" Or something. It just would not occur to me to make a snide comment or try to compare myself to them because I don't think that way at all.

I hope the people in this thread don't take this stuff seriously. It's clearly born of insecurity and resentment.[/quote]
