[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my second at 40. I'm 53 now. By my 40s, I simply did not have the patience for many other moms, much less mom groups. Too much backbiting, too much gossiping, too much unhappiness, too much willingness to sell out another mom's kids, too much of a tendency to talk badly about their own spouse and kids, too much comparison of each other's kids, too much bad energy. It's almost like if one of the women in the group was unhappy, then she worked double time to get the other women to feel unhappy in life, too. Eh, no. By my 40s I didn't want any part of that stuff. Mature enough to sit by myself at the park with no problem. I had two moms in my neighborhood I would hang with at the playground, but otherwise I avoided these mom groups like the plague. Shudder.[/quote] This.[/quote]
