My oldest dearest friends are all work, some combo of PT, WAH, and WOH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057704 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 14:14:20 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2057704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! Obviously my friends from work who are also parents are WOHM parents :-) But I have a few friends from before we all started having kids that are now SAHM and we're still close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057698 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 14:11:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2057698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly SAH. I met several wonderful SAHM friends after c was born when we took a mommy and me class at 6 weeks. Naturally the SAHMs kept in touch more after the class ended since we were all looking for something to do during the week. I think a few of the wohms also kept in touch more, just because the scheduling is so much easier when you have similar work schedules. </p> <p>Of friends I had prebaby, I think it's still slightly more sah than WOH, plus a handful of friends without kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057690 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 14:06:19 +0000 illumina 2057690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple are SAHMs, the rest WOH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057657 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 13:52:12 +0000 BandDmommy 2057657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mixture.

When we do get together it's usually for girls' night out, brunch, etc. since the weekends are their time to get out without kids.</p> <p>I've become closer with coworkers who have kids, and it's nice to be able to relate. I will say though that I'm still just as close with my SAH friends, and we're very supportive of each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057529 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 12:55:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2057529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most are WOH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057526 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 12:53:20 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2057526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most are off on a year long mat leave right now because we all have almost 1 year olds.

Unfortunately since having a LO, I see my friends outside of work less. The ones with 2 kids are harder to get together with than the ones with 1 kid or no kids or grown kids. It seems like 2 vs 1 is more of the issue than WOH vs SAH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-closest-friends-with-kids-sahp-or-wahpwohp#post-2057382 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 11:40:35 +0000 pui 2057382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It goes right down the middle.
