[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As other posters have said, I (SAHM of 4 yo and 1 yo) also find it hard to be real friends at this stage with WOHM. It seems like we just have very different lifestyles, challenges, [b]values[/b], etc. Women with young children need support, and for a lot of us that means sort of "sheltering" with people who are like us. If you can find other SAHM's, do it! Look online, even.

I do feel like a lot of WOHM's have made totally unsolicited comments to me about how great daycare is, etc. It really seems to come out of nowhere. When I was a super new mom, I engaged more in parenting conversations with other people, but now I try to avoid it as much as possible. I don't even like to ask if someone works or not.[/quote]

You think you have different values?  But your not judging at all?

And if you are going to criticize them for making comments about how great daycare is, do you really think that you have never made a comment about how nice it is to have time with your DC?  I think both of these comments can be entirely reasonable and harmless, but if you are going to criticize (possibly) innocuous comment A you should hold yourself responsible for (possibly) innocuous comment B.[/quote]
