[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve come to realize staying at home isn’t for me. I’m transitioning out of the house and diving into a passion of mine-educationally that is. Anyways, I love talking with other people who enjoy debates, academia etc. The mom friends I have are the reverse. They are past this stage and if they could, they would stay at home. They enjoy talking about diapers, kid things. I find myself getting bored with talking too much about motherhood related things. Sometimes I feel like I need to fake it more to not come across so bored when someone is talking about Jrs. sleep regression. How do I balance being a mom and being intellectually stimulated ? Some women get it but I find it’s not the majority. Although the women I’m friends with are amazing and in managerial positions, they don’t love their job; it’s a job that pays the bills.  So their kid is everything they want to talk about and I can’t always find interest in that. 
Tips ?... I will say I have childless friends and we do dive into debates but I see them once a month.

I mean, maybe the reason you want to talk about your passion is that all you do is stay home and spend time with kids.  I don't talk about my kids at work all day so I don't particularly want to talk about my work when I am home.  The women who work ARE intellectually stimulated already because they are at work all day.

Also you sound kinda obnoxious- just because other moms talk about kid things with you doesn't mean they are one-dimensional and only talk about kids.  People tend to talk about things they have in common- if it is kids they will talk about kids.[/quote]
