[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd argue that most parents of young kids, working or no, socialize with family and other parents with similar age kids. That's not just true of SAHMs. People tend to flock to others like themselves.[/quote] Yes, but working parents usually have more time/opportunity to interact with a wider range of people at work. They do have a life outside of being a parent. Don't get me wrong, I met lots of very sweet empty nesters/retirees when my kids were little. They were sweet to my kids and we talked in the front yard at times. We didn't hang out and go out places together. But we didn't have to. If you SAH and you spend a lot of time away from your kids and hanging around other adults, you are outsourcing childcare in some way. Most SAHPs that I know do not outsource a lot of childcare. It's just not practical. [/quote]
