[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two best friends will never have kids. They are 37. I have two other friends who are 50 with no kids.

I don't see them any particular way. Not having kids is just one aspect of their life. They are not judgmental of my choice  to have kids and I would never be judgmental of them. In addition, I would never know if someone is childless on purpose or not (not that, again, would that affect my view of their choice).

Also, the mom communtiy isn't special and deep. I realize it may seem that way because, especially during a certain point while child rearing, our lives our so focused on being moms. But often, that community produces of a few deep bonds.  [/quote]

Not OP, I agree with most of what you say, but I have a very different experience of the mom community, both in my city prior to moving to DC, and here in DC.  I find parts of the mom communities to be really deep.  I've made good friends, we help each other out (our car is out of commission right now and there are 2 moms helping for a couple of days with drop off and pick up from school - we are incredibly grateful for that!).

Most friendships are not deep, but I think when you do things or recognize like-minded parents in your school communities or neighborhoods, there can be some very deep mom relationships to be found.[/quote]
