[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know when it has come up in real life, it makes me really mad.  And yes, it does come up in real life.  The twain don't really mix until elementary school.  So all of you who are sitting around doe eyed wondering how this could ever come up in real life since it has never happened to you at the park or at daycare drop off, it's real, it does happen and it happens every day.  It is pretty easy to avoid each other before elementary school that's why you don't see it.[/quote]

Working mom here. In my experience it has come out a lot less since kids started school. For one thing we are more confident in our parenting choices, at least I am so maybe this all falls below the radar. The other thing is that most moms work in some capacity by the time kids are in school, at least in my circle. Maybe if I were a SAHM they would identify themselves differently but everyone seems to either work FT or PT, or have some hand in the working world. Maybe they would play it up less if I stayed home? But I have never felt slighted for working as my kids have gotten older. I am sure if I lived in another part of the country it would be different but this is the DC area. Lots of working moms around here, especially of school-aged kids.[/quote]
