[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]

Im the poster who used to have a very flexible part time job. I joined a moms club when I first moved here. I worked 30 hrs per week flexible schedule but had a full time nanny. I joined moms club and was placed in a Playgroup. We were responsible for rotating being the host. Being the responsible person, I said I can commit to hosting but if by chance I have a meeting, I can commit to being the host but my nanny would be there only. I got a phone call telling me that this group may not be for me because I work. I was really insulted at the time. Eh. [/quote]
