[quote=Anonymous]I think part of your problem is that you are focused on this “mom” thing while also having some pretty strong biases about SAHM and WOHM.

My close friends are:

People I went to law school with, some of them work and some of them have opted out. We have a long shared history.
People that never married or had kids. We mostly talk about work, but also enjoy movies, restaurants, etc
People that have kids much older than mine — some are even grandparents.

I met the last two categories through my neighborhood and church. One woman was actually my husband’s good friend for many years before we married and now she is my friend also.

I do find it more of a challenge to become close with people with kids the same age. We have a kid with profound disabilities so we cannot participate in the same way with “family” events. It isn’t that is don’t like these people — they just don’t have the same desire I do to get together and not talk about kid stuff or they are too busy.
