[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you guys care too much what everyone else thinks.

I am the sheep in wolves clothings walking both sides on a daily basis.  I am a wahm with very flexible hours...so much so sahms think I am one of them since they see me all of the time and I am always a volunteer at the school...and then on the occasion I did to go into the office and I am out in my 'work clothes' the working moms think I am one of them.  I do hear remarks from each sides about what they think 'about those doing the opposite'.  It cracks me up.  It is like I am a spy.  [b]I also will get nasty looks when I am in the grocery store in the middle of the day in workout gear[/b]....and, like another noted, I get the same when I am in 'work' clothes when I stop by the park.

The moms I seem to get along with the most have no bias and, like me, can happily see benefits to both sides of the coin.  I find it's the moms that aren't comfortable in their own skin or that unfortunately don't want to be in the role that they are living that are the ones that get involved in the flame wars.[/quote]

From whom?  Not from me (us) , I'm (we're) in my office in a suit.  Why would they SAHMs, who are presumably also there in their workout clothes, give you dirty looks?[/quote]

I think this post must be a joke, or this person is really paranoid. I mean who gives a shit in real life whether someone works or stays home. Sure it may come up in casual conversation among friends but I can't imagine a stranger in a grocery store is seriously contemplating it. I don't work on Fridays and often go the grocery store with my toddler in the morning (in yoga pants and sneakers no less) so I can grab a few things for the weekend while also grabbinb a Starbucks drink (because in the year 2010 these things are conveniently located in the same building!) and I don't feel the need to broadcast to the store: "working mom here! Just off on Fridays! Great balance I have!"

Frankly no one gives a crap.[/quote]

Amen.  I work but I'm usually too frantic in the grocery store to notice who is wearing what.  Same for the park.  I certainly don't give a shit.[/quote]
