[quote=Anonymous]"To the home? No. To the marriage? Absolutely! All those "networking connections" need to be built and nurtured. This sort of social connection work is traditionally done by women, and rarely noticed by men. But yes, it matters. To the MIL who doesn't go off the rails because her son remembered her birthday/favorite flowers/etc. The promotion you get because wifey and your boss's wifey are friendly, if not "friends". The other at-home parents you can call to watch your kids or carpool or take the kids overnight in an emergency... These connections don't just magically appear (look at every other thread on here complaining about how nobody has time to make/keep friends anymore). Knowing someone well enough to choose a thoughtful gift, remembering an important occassion to give said gift, etc. is a skill, and it brings a tremendous advantage to those who have it (or have someone who has it keeping their calendar). "

But some women do this and work too!!!!  We're not all working as doctors on call who have no time for friends or connections. [/quote]
