OH Dad, you're kidding right? What soccer feilds are you sitting on??? In my experience it makes no difference. Sort of like absolute power corrupts absolutely, absolute parenting currupts friendship.
I am a total blunder when it comes to the social mom thing. I tend to be sarcastic, and that rubs some moms the wrong way, like parenting is too sacred to be made fun of.
I frankly don't get "mom pick up lines" and the only one I can think of is, "so, how old is he?" My feeble attempt to start a conversation, I tried at Gymboree the other day, and was going to follow it with, "I love your son's enthusiasm." That's positive, nonjudgemental, and friendly, right? Shot down after my first question, and now I'm beginning to think this other mom thought I was using it as an openner so I could launch into the well my kid is this old and can do blah blah blah.
I need a new line, or a few- any help?
And I have to second, or third, using hmmmm often, it works, same for MIL's.
