[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are projecting your own insecurities on to your neighbor. You are judging yourself. I can tell you that it does make your kid sad to be the last person picked up every day. That’s a very long day for a child, OP. [/quote]

And based on Op's post, I see nothing where the neighbor has said anything to OP about the schedule. [/quote]

Exactly!  I just made it to the end of the thread thinking I must have missed something.  All this SAHM has done is exist in the home across the street.  The fact that she doesn't have a set-up similar to yours, OP, doesn't mean she doesn't understand your kids are in care because you or working (I'd think that is the obvious default assumption) or that she is judging you!  Has she made even one comment in that vein to you?  Given you weird looks?  Talked ill about you with other moms/neighbors? [/quote]

That’s what I don’t understand.  This isn’t a SAHM vs working mom thing.  This seems to be specific to OP’s neighbor.  I’m a SAHM and I neither know nor care about my working mom neighbors’ childcare arrangements.  They’re nice people and good neighbors and we are friendly, but not friends – and that has zero to do with employment status.[/quote]

Yeah, I just see people coming and going. I drive my kids to school. So do other parents whether they are working or not. I’m busy with my own kids. The last thing I care about is some random neighbor.

I do know my kids’ very good friends’ schedules but it is more about when they have basketball or gymnastics. I know Larlo is free on Wed and my Bobby is also free then to have a play date. Larla has gymnastics on Tuesday.[/quote]
