[quote=Anonymous][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]

Interesting. I have what is considered a “big job” or whatever but I totally want this intel.

OP could try to find common ground with the other moms. But maybe she doesn’t   want to? Does it make her feel superior to dismiss their errands and chores? All of us still have errands and chores unless we are mega rich celebrities (in which case I guess a chore is to pick out the specs on your newest luxury car or something).

We all just need to get over ourselves and find common ground. And by the way, those moms OP is poo pooing often have the best intel on school, teachers, coaches, etc. They have value also cause, you know, they are humans.

They could probably be part of your village if you weren’t so snobby.[/quote]

I’m not interested in Homegoods but I would love to discuss skin and hair care for very extended periods of time:) come on OP, volunteer something interesting and see what you get back! Oh I finished a great book, heard something funny etc etc. I work but I still have fun silly interests. Plus it’s really nice to hear what teachers people like and don’t like. Not everyone has to be a kindred spirit.[/quote]
