Oh btw, since you just said 11:51 that practically every mother is a “SAHM” perhaps you can shed some light on why some commenters on here seem to think the neighborhood is overrun with nannies raising their children.
Which is is?
It used to be that every mom was a stay at home mom.
Then they started working and people began hating that they had to leave their kids in daycare, hire a babysitter, hire a nanny.
Now you’re telling me that people are resentful of stay at home mom’s again?
Dear lord. Does everyone just sit around thinking of reasons to be jealous, envious, resentful of everyone else?
Just do your best to be happy and stop looking around at what everyone else is doing.
It’s sick.
About the SAHM issue, I think that’s kind of complicated, because SAHMs resent those who have careers, and vice versa. It’s always greener… Also, not all SAHMs are rich. Sometimes the math just doesn’t add up if you factor in day care or nannies, and it makes more sense for 1 parent to stay home. I also know many women who could comfortably raise a family with a freelance salary or just their husband’s salary, but who don’t want to give up a career.
I’m a working mom in park slope. My daughter is probably one of 2-3 other kids in her preschool class whose both parents work. We are fortunate to own a small 2 bedroom coop, which we work hard to afford. It DOES hurt to see that all these parents can afford to have one parent working and one at home, and it IS frustrating to get the contact list for your kid’s class and see a lot of house numbers with no apartment numbers next to them. And it makes me sad that my daughter doesn’t get invited to many playdates with her classmates because I’m not a part of the SAHM scene (and most SAHMs I meet aren’t into weekend playdates). The main difference between us and many of our daughter’s classmates’ parents? Age. We had our daughter rather young by PS standards and we are in our early 30s. Many of the parents you see sitting on stoops did manage to cash in on a market that younger folks had to suck up and buy into. Regardless, we feel really fortunate to live here. It IS a wonderful and beautiful neighborhood and most of the people I have met are very open and friendly. I don’t begrudge people here their success…but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit envious.
Park Slope moms once told me if I allowed my child to watch TV they’d have me killed and make it look like an accident.
i was once yelled at my 3 park slope moms for giving my daughter a bottle (of formula). YELLED
Park Slope is like Lindsay Lohan.
It might get some bad press from time to time, but very few people wouldn’t want to get a piece of it, if they could.
“same talk, same husbands, same jobs, same escapes over summer, they trade nannies back and forth”
same husbands??
is polygamy legal in park slope now!!!???
I’M SO THERE!!!
the nanny trading sounds kinda hot too.
10:12 and 10:06 are some pretty dumb ones.
agreed, 10:32.
first of all someone’s getting a little defensive about bay ridge.
it’s a perfectly fine place, but some people don’t have the ability or desire to commute over an hour each way to work. that’s ok, isn’t it?
some people would rather spend TIME with their children, then spend it on a subway car. that’s not ok, psychopath, i mean…10:06.
10:12 may do a lot of browsing along the real estate market in park slope, but he/she has no concept of reality.
park slope has one of the lowest inventories. while some properties sit on the market, from my experience many are gone within a month or two.
FAR shorter than the 126 days average nationwide.
i’m sorry they aren’t selling fast enough for you buddy. 30 days, 60 days, 120 days…you still can’t afford one, or perhaps you’d have popped in and actually asked about one of them to have realized it’s already been sold.
and how exactly do you know so much about park slope moms, might i ask???
for someone who seemingly hates them, you sure do claim to know an awful lot about them. been reading gawker on those lunch breaks?
p.s. anyone who uses the word “tight” is an ignoramus in my book
