[quote=Anonymous]Definitely harder to schedule play dates. But being friends? Of course.

I have friends who WOH, but that doesn't describe my "mom / dad friends". Those are mostly my pre-kid friends. Some also have kids but we mostly get together on our own for kid-free time.

I'm primarily a SAH but do work part time from home. Even with my flexible hours I have a hard time with full-time SAHM and scheduling...I get the reaction you describe ("OMG how do you do it??!") and I only work part time! I just move along...those usually aren't my people (and are usually the super duper Pinterest-mom types). The "mom / dad friends" who are like "Oh cool - what days & times work for you?" are my people...easy and casual. They'll come over for a couple-few hours and we chat and have coffee while the kids play. If I have to take a work call or check email, they hang out for a few minutes alone with the kids and just chill; if we're at their home and they want to make a call or whatever, I do the same for them. Super super easy friendships.[/quote]
