Subject: That's too bad that your SAHM friends are like that. I've been on both sides of the argument, and I stay neutral. It's a personal choice, and what is best for you is not what is best for everyone! Some of the Moms at my church group are kind of judgemental like that, but I just ignore them. I think some of them are nuts for having like 10 kids because we're Catholic! 2 is good, thanks! I think it's more a family thing for me...I love my friends, but there's nobody quite like Mom. I guess I should be thankful to still have both of my parents!! I miss them a lot though. :) Sandigal

Subject: Bauer) I think it's harder having parents that aren't close by like you than it is not having them at all like me. I can't imagine how much you must miss them. I've just gotten used to not having anyone to depend on (I hope that makes sense!) If you ever want to talk more, feel free to email me: judy@tomjudy.com. Sometimes it just helps having other mommy friends to vent to! I know it helps me!

Subject: Judles) I just don't understand the division between SAHM and WOHM (work outside the home)...some people have to work, plain and simple. Women are so catty a lot of the time. I was really lucky in that I found a group of moms I really clicked with. There are 8 of us, 3 are WOHM, 4 are SAHM's and 1 has 3 business she runs out of her home. We get together when we can and have a wonderful time. We met through meetup.com. Judy, I have also thought the same thing...I think that I would find it harder if my mum were alive and living far away. She's been gone 20 years now, so I am used to not having her around...having her alive and not being able to see her? That would be horrible to me. Weird how that is, isn't it?

Subject: Bauer) It is weird, but I guess it's just because when you have parents, you are more reliant on them. My mom's been going for 19 years and my dad for 11. It's been so long, I honestly don't remember what's it's like to have parents anymore. I wish SAHM and WOHMs got along better, too, but I find so much cattiness between the two groups. I guess I just haven't found the right group yet.

Subject: Yes, girls, I think it's silly for SAHM's not to get along with working Moms...after all, we're all in this together, we just go about it differntly! I haven't found the right group yet either apparently! Thanks for the email address Judy, I'm going to take you up on that sometimes! :) Feel free to chat with me anytime too, mine is zippygirl5@roadrunner.com . Sandigal

Subject: And oh, yeah...I've always been close to my Mom, and I just miss being around her, whether she's helping with my kids or not. I can't imagine not having her at all though, so I try to keep that in perspective. The day will come soon enough that we'll have to say Goodbye, so I guess I should enjoy the times I do get to see her instead of wish there were more. But I wouldn't be crying if they decided to move here, lol!! Sandigal
