[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it but can we please stop pitting the "non working parents" on the working ones. I worked my tail off for 16 years after college then married and had a kid later in life.  I don't work now as my husband was traveling nonstop until the pandemic hit.  Now I'm 52 and can't get a job to save my life (one that is even remotely close to what I did).  Please let's just stop judging based on whether someone works or not.  The whole wealthy vs not is also old -no one knows what someone else's situation is.[/quote]

Also, the line between sahp and wohp is blurred more than ever if we are talking about who is in the pickup line. Dh is in the pickup line every day… bc he works from home and his boss is totally fine with him taking calls from the pickup line. He is dressed very casually and indistinguishable from a sahp unless you talk to him. 
OP, did your daughter just start this year?  Give it some time!  We were probably 3/4 through our first year before we felt like we found parents/families we clicked with. And even the ones that we don’t have a ton in common with - we exchange superficial Happy conversation and that is fine too!
We are also a FA family. It truly does not seem to matter. 
As others have said, volunteer. Through our kids, we have met other parents in their grades - but through volunteering we have met other parents in other grades. More opportunities.[/quote]

Who cares if the lines are blurred between a work at home parent and a stay at home one?  This actually crossed your mind?  Do you see how ridiculous this is?  Like heaven forbid someone thinks he is a stay at home parent.  Dear Lord.[/quote]
