[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school the clique-y moms are the SAHMs and they generally look down on any women who work. They schedule things during work hours as a way of excluding some kids. Last year we were at a private school where nearly all the families were dual income families (probably to pay for said school haha) and had none of this nonsense. Now we are in public school and it’s been the weirdest thing to observe.[/quote]

You may be right, but take it from a former SAHM...they are scheduling things during work hours because they are going nuts at home with their kids and are the verge of mental illness. [/quote]

PP here. Well, you do have options and I can tell you the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

These moms have said things like “oh this is Larla, she’s a doctorrrrrrr” in a mocking sing song-y voice. I never mention my career unless asked. And when I pointed out an end of the school year party for the entire grade during work hours might be hard for some, I got met with “well, we can’t include everyone, ya know?” But it was literally sent out as something for the entire grade. I’m seriously considering going back to our private school where none of this nonsense existed, probably because we were all in the same boat. It’s like some of these moms get off on making other moms (and kids!!) feel left out. It’s so gross. [/quote]

I’m a SAHM and am the hang out house. I have kids over all the time. Most of the parents work.

I do prefer socializing when kids are in school but that is because it is harder to coordinate when kids are out of school. I have 3 kids in sports and activities. [/quote]
