Working moms need your advice
So how are u managing your presence in your kids friends mom circle group? Like when I go and meet them, I usually have nothing to talk about except for things related to the child. They usually meet and talk about random of things - Food Shopping - brands Zumba/ yoga class they might b going Beauty Salons Maid Family members negative things Husband related negative things Neighbors negative things
Usually in evenings they all go to Beauty salon together. I don't go to Beauty salons much plus I feel it as more of personal thing n personal time. They go for coffee n all like there is star bucks near by. I don't feel like spending there lol.
I feel out and start feeling nervous but I have to gel with them as u know for kid u need some circle n my child also needs to feel included as we live in same community.
Like for womens Day also they did party for whole week like it's never coming back.
Most of them are non working n few others are teachers in different school.
I need some tips to avoid these additional parties n all n still b part of it like somehow.

Proof that ladies have all the time for non sensical gossip
First world problems 😅
From the topics you have mentioned, none of them look productive. They are mere gossips or materialistic discussion with no valueable gains.
You are a working mom. They are not. Their world is different than yours. Their routine is different than yours. You have bigger worries(professional and personal)to care for. Your kid is the reason why you meet them. There is nothing wrong if you talk only about him.
Every effort to fit in will either leave a big pocket in your hole or turn you into a neighbourhood 'Aunties' peeking into everyone's lives😂
Best way to connect would be on human level. It may be common struggles, some ideas, beliefs and values, etc. Basically something intellectual 😅 Wether they are capable enough to raise their levels is best known to you, but don't lower your level at any cost.
Your observations are correct..I for one use my free time to take out kid to parks, movies, cycling. I discuss a lot about current society, human nature, how the world works etc., I never stress about mixing with other mommies..i find same observations as you n i dont feel need to be part of them..i only value time spent with my kid..coz i have limited free time..i suggest you the same..
I am in a similar situation. Never understood that community of women. Most working moms never come down to the play area and it’s almost always these ladies who hangout together.Sometime I feel my child is being excluded from a lot of groups as his mom is a working mom and can’t spare so much time just to bond with other moms.
Feeling the same. My child is getting cornered :(
Be cool.. you can not manage everything at the same time. There is lot of time to gel with others. First concentrate on your work and kid. He needs your time first than others in the society.
