[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOHM with SAHH here. Wow, the haters are out tonight!

There might be some people who don't hang with my DH and kids because they are weirded out by him not being a published author or whatever the hell. Good riddance, if that's how they judge people. He does all right without such assholes. As for the people who are incapable of having male friends because they are married to other people, well, their sexism is clear right there in the "your kitchens."  The kitchen is way more DH's than it is mine!

OP, that said I wouldn't blame the SAHD factor for your situation entirely. Unless you live in a particularly judgmental slice of society I'm not privy to, IME there aren't THAT many people who are creeped out by it. [/quote]

+1.  But note that the PP who talked about hanging out in the kitchen completely missed the boat.  It doesn't sound like OP has a problem getting people to come over to his house, he has a problem getting people to invite him to theirs.

And I agree, that is less likely to be about him being a SAHD.

Though, if your kids are friends with some of these bitchy moms' kids, definitely try to branch out more!  These people suck.[/quote]

How many SAHDs have you invited over in the past few months?
Zero. Absolute zero. 
Funny how [b]none of you save one has actually said you have invited a man over for a play date[/b], yet calling everyone else out for saying it wouldn't be their first choice.[/quote]

that's only because they are still relatively rare.  Not because they are all sexists like you.

Do you judge everyone by their conformity to gender expectations before deciding to befriend them or their children? or just men?[/quote]
