In a completely non-stalkerish way, of course.<BR/><BR/>Oh, hell, who am I kidding, it's in a TOTALLY stalkerish way.<BR/><BR/>And I am actually feeling a little better now about my own inappropriate, awkward hug moment. So thank you for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-76418445872918024602008-07-26T04:02:00.000-07:002008-07-26T04:02:00.000-07:00I'm sorry to be laughing at your post, but it's no...I'm sorry to be laughing at your post, but it's not really at you. Well, kind of, but it's more of a "oh, been there, glad I'm not theonly jackass in the world" laugh. <BR/><BR/>But really, why would she bring that whole movie scene thing up? Didn't she think it would make you uncomfortable? Maybe she was also nervous and trying to fill the silence? I've been there too - silence makes me nervous so I've been known to try to fill it with stuff that isn't exactly shards of brilliance at times.<BR/><BR/>So see, I'm not the only jackass, but I'm obviousl I bigger jackasee than you are. All is good. ;-)Elisa @ Globetrotting in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920820564549246339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-23448188742732345932008-05-09T10:51:00.000-07:002008-05-09T10:51:00.000-07:00Danielle: Oy.

My husband is a SAHD to our three year old, and I've looked around a little in our neighborhood to see if there are any playgroups he could join. They're ALL for moms. I'm wondering if it's really true that in our little corner of suburbia, he's the only stay at home dad? Or maybe the SAHDs just don't advertise like the SAHMs do. <BR/><BR/>Funny story, I hope you've sufficiently recovered from your mortification. :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254181459688488318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-30166439932983106352008-05-09T06:44:00.000-07:002008-05-09T06:44:00.000-07:00haha!Nothin' like makin' out on the playground.......haha!<BR/><BR/>Nothin' like makin' out on the playground....<BR/><BR/>This is funny!

I sort of lead a parents group...a couple that we knew in college just moved here and the dad stays at home, so naturally I invited him to our group. I didn't think anything of it until his wife told him he should ask me/the other moms if we were ok w/him hanging out! We are fine w/it and actually it's great to get that dad wisdom sometimes. But I have noticed that a few times it was just him and me doing things together and people have started talking about 'the guy' I am always seen w/!! Too funny. Luckily we are both comfortable and so are our spouses. Anyway - I laughed at your post and it helps me think about the way we interact...nice blog and don't let us mommies give you any crap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-36610803143050612252008-03-15T07:41:00.000-07:002008-03-15T07:41:00.000-07:00OMG, your story is hilarious!

As a mom who always worked full-time when our girls were little, I never felt that I fit in when I had a day off and took them to the park. The other moms would be there for their play dates, and we never knew anyone. Kiss? No kiss?

And then if a new mom shows up (usually at the public parenting center playgroup) and looks for a way to reach out to other adults and have a conversation they can have a pretty tough time of it unless they already have a sponsor.<BR/><BR/>That's how I think of it, anyway: club, sponsor, applicant, probation period, ass-kissing, acceptance.<BR/><BR/>I just bring food.Backpacking Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498905428420679901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-23797130041736849522008-03-10T20:59:00.000-07:002008-03-10T20:59:00.000-07:00Is it possible this gorgeous girl of yours could b...Is it possible this gorgeous girl of yours could be any more cute?<BR/><BR/>This post is interesting to me because I've always wondered what it must be like from a SAHD's standpoint. I wrote a post, very early on in my blog, about how women in playgroups tend to do this 'dance of acceptance' with each other. Kind of like a prom, only we're all afraid we're the freaks and AV moles who crawled out of the dark room to attend, and no one will like us.<BR/><BR/>Um. Or maybe that's just me.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for coming by my blog and for your comments. I so appreciate new readers gravitating in. I'm definitely going to come hang out here one night and read more, so please don't worry if you wonder if you've got yourself a stalker. Just me. <BR/><BR/>Unless you also have a stalker!for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.com
