[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may be running into problems because people in the small town may not understand the whole "work from home" full-time thing. They may just think you are a snobby stay at home mom. They don't see you out working at the walmart, right? So, you may want to tell the people you do meet (at church) that you were lucky to keep your full-time job and work from home, etc.. etc... but it is hard to get out.

This is probably true.  The few people I've had conversations with have even been pretty snotty about me working at all.  Those who weren't snotty about it think I sell Jamberry.  Really, I work in IT so working from home is a lot more normal to me than it probably is to others.

We've been seriously debating switching churches for a while because of the social situation, but we're now in a heavily Baptist area, and we are not even close to Baptist.  I'll poke around church some more, but it's uncomfortable admitting how isolated I am.

Any advice on the unfriendly neighbors?[/quote]

Why are you living in this area? It sounds like you really dislike it. If you're going to be truly lonely and unhappy there, I would strongly reassess whether it's the right place for your family.[/quote]
