[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're starting kindergarten next week & will be in SACC. My kid has been in daycare since 3 months. All the mothers at the daycare are working moms. Once we start K are there going to be a lot of SAHMs passing judgment on WOHMs? And vice versa?

no. was in the same situation, two kids in daycare 8 hours a day since 2.5 months. first child is now in 3grade, second starting pre-K. tons of kids go to aftercare programs, because the parents work or because they like the activities and playing with their friends. nobody usually passes judgment on anybody else (and if they do, frankly who cares?). OP was just a troll and frankly I was surprised it was fed so much[/quote]

We are starting KINDERGARTEN too and DD will be in the a.m. "extended day" program.  She has been in daycare for 3 years prior to this.  I too am a little worried to all of a sudden being in a mixed peer group (DD *and* I), so to speak, of SAHM families and WOHM families, for the first time.  Up until now we have been in a nice cozy network of all WOHMs when we all have been supportive of each other!  All of a sudden, I am coming up against inconvenient things like "coffee for new families!" . . .. at 8:30 a.m. in the morning "after drop-off" -- umm, thanks, who can go to this?  Not I. And other things like this.  It is amazing how daycare manages to keep us all informed, social, build community, etc. . .without all these "extras" which seem to come with the territory once you are in a school environment which is, largely, organized by SAHs.
