[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perspective from a SAHM who just returned to work part-time.  One of the things I noticed while home for a number of years is that I felt like I interacted with a broader variety of people than I did when I was working (with a rather homogeneous group of lawyers).

While working, I interacted primarily with PPL who shared a common experience and educational background and with my friends and family.  When your interactions with adults are dictated by the bus stop, who is room parent in your kids class, or in your aerobics class, you're "social circle" is less homogeneous than when you're working.  You don't necessarily have anything in common with the PPL you interact with on a daily basis.  Your world views just clash more often.  I think it's been a great reminder of what kids' lives are like.  Our kids are in school with kids whose families don't necessarily share our values.  It forces you to be a little more thoughtful about what your values are and to teach your kids why you make the choices you do.

One other thing to note.  Demanding jobs weed out the truly crazy.  The school bus stop does not.  There are more really wacky PPL out there then I ever imagined.  For a while I thought I should right a novel about the characters in my Montgomery County neighborhood.  Who would of guessed??  Working dad's who miss this scene have no idea what we endure.[/quote]

"what we endure": are the country club moms the people "we endure" or the moms that care about the country club moms.

I like your post, but I am. Unsure who you think are the crazy ones.

I will say that the solution to only knowing a narrow range of people: get a hobby.[/quote]
