[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF is a Moms' Club? Are these for real?

I'm so glad my kids are older and we didn't have this foolishness.[/quote]

Its for SAHM who shun us who work because we like are kids t be able to eat and stuff.[/quote]

Haha yep. No working moms allowed! Such bs. [/quote]

Why would you be offended by this? We do fun things with our kids during the day. Would you be able to join? No. [/quote]

Plenty of working moms have schedules that are flexible enough to do meet ups during the day. [/quote]

Interesting. I have tons of working mom friends and not one would be able to meet me last minute at 10am for a kids activity. Do you live in DC?[/quote]
I am the PP and yes, I live in DC.  I work full time but have very flexible hours and work remotely several days a week. I absolutely could meet last minute at 10 am many weekdays.

I don’t think it is universal that the Moms clubs allow in part time or full time with flexible schedule moms. I think that many of them have the philosophy that SAHMs have different experiences than women who work and don’t have anything to offer to the conversation. [/quote]

DP here. I used to work a part time supposedly very flexible job. If you make the moms club activity the priority, sure, you can make it work.

You are kidding yourself if you think you can just meet a random new mom acquaintance at the park any day. I’m a SAHM and I make plans at least a week or two in advance. Most people aren’t just available.

And I do have friends with flex jobs. We rarely meet during working hours. They use their flex time to work out, run errands, doc appointments, preschool events, etc. we meet for dinners or get togethers on weekends.[/quote]
