[quote=Anonymous]You all sound socially incapable or maybe rude. SAHMs are not shocked when other women work. Normal SAHMs would ask you if you’ve been working on anything interesting/challenging/traveling a lot for work recently/changed jobs etc. They know appropriate superficial, work-related questions to ask if your response indicates you want to talk about work for small talk. If they really go silent when you mention work, they sound utterly socially inept. I think you sound inept and hostile for responding to something as anodyne as “how’s your day” by talking about work. Surely when someone at work in a meeting opens by saying “how’s the morning?” You don’t respond by saying “busy with work.” Why not grant the SAHMs the courtesy of a normal answer to that question.[/quote]
