[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people aren't up for the casual "let's share our complaints!". I'm definitely the type to just commiserate with you and have plenty of mom friends who are similar. But I've also met people who take complaining as a sign of asking for advice or help. Which I think is fine too. This may be specific to the school or it may be how you phrase the complaints. [/quote] Or just people in general. OP at least in the US there's an over-broad stereotype that women will commiserate while men always want to problem solve. It sticks in my brain because I'm a woman who isn't great at commiserating and immediately jumps to problem solving. I think you can find all types anywhere, unless you are maybe at a [i]very[/i] small school, so just learn who you can vent to and who is going to offer a pointless solution (like I would).[/quote]
