[quote=Anonymous]I have experienced both perspectives.  Was married for 10 years before having a child, and we waited that long by choice to have a child--I just did not feel ready any sooner, husband worked 80 hour weeks, etc.  I must say that I found it extremely hard to find any semblance of community when I was a childfree married woman.  I tried so hard to make friends, join groups, etc. but I really could not make friends (even with single or childfree married women) or create a community at all (we moved here not knowing anyone in our early 30s).  I worked full time pre-baby and never made any work friends either.  Husband insisted we start TTC when I turned 35 and we got pregnant right away.  Now we have a 3 year old, I'm a SAHM, and it has been so much easier to make friends and find a community--I truly feel a huge difference.  I now have community through moms groups, religious congregation and preschool.  Most of my friends now have kids, though I also joined a hobby group and am making friends with women who do not have kids.  [/quote]
