[quote=Anonymous]My dh is a SAHD, and yes, SAHM's are not friendly to him.  He has noticed too that moving from closer to the city to the further burbs that SAHM's are even less friendly in the further burbs than closer in.  It is very isolating and challenging for him.  He has had women ignore him when he talks to them say at JW Tumbles, one mom turned around and walked away at a park, etc.  The list could go on.  It has been very hard on his self esteem.  And if you want to say he must be some sort of odd person, it's not true.  He is very good socially and is used to a good social circle, so this experience has been unlike others when he was part of an office, or popular in college/high school.  You have to make time to pursue your hobbies and get around people other than SAHM's.  Like for instance, my dh and I used to kayak a lot, so he still goes out and does that as often as possible.  After a day of shooting the rapids with like minded kayakers and no baby talk or getting ignored/the 1,000 yard stare, he feels much better.[/quote]
