[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk about the weathe, sports or the govt melting down.

I also find it mindnumbing to listen to stories about their errands.[/quote]
I remember our nanny calling in sick one day so I took my daughter to dance class.  I was waiting for class to get out and ended up listening to the moms compare which HomeGoods had better stock and when each HomeGoods restocked so you could go look for the best stuff.  I couldn't believe anyone had time for that.  Totally mind numbing.  [/quote]

I’m a SAHM. I don’t like going to homegoods. I have friends, working and not working, who can go on and on about going to Costco or home goods or red tag sales at TJ maxx. I also know women who talk about their boring jobs and can’t seem to realize that no one cares about their job. Others talk about their dog or health problems or their parents’ health problems or their dog’s health problems. I have many many many friends who talk about food - dieting, cooking, new restaurants, allergies. I think the most annoying thing a person can do is talk about their kid’s allergies and diet. I don’t think you can judge a person on a 5 min conversation at the bus stop. I am probably equally annoyed at these women and I’m in their same non working lifestyle.

My friends are not divided into working and SAHM. Many of my working friends may have stayed home in the past. I am not currently working but I used to work and will work again.[/quote]
