[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I found being a SAHM to young children to be one of the most vibrant and social times of my life.  That surprised me because during the early months, I felt isolated.  It took time to meet other moms and create those connections.  Eventually I had a solid network of other moms of kids my children's ages.[/b] We had playdates rotating in each others' homes, volunteered at the preschool events together, met up at the playground for Friday night pizza etc. and took turn watching each other's kids if one of us had a dentist or OB appt etc.

My kids are older now and many of my SAHM friends went back to school when the youngest was in kindergarten.  There's fewer of us to meet up with now, and sports and music and other after school commitments has taken us all in different directions.[/quote]

+1  I loved this part of my years at home.  I'm back at work now but look at those years when my children were little as a really precious of time in my life.  I'm still friends with a lot of those moms but we can't spend those long lazy days together anymore.[/quote]
