BELIEVE ME I spent last summer taking care of a 5y/o, 3y/o and 15 month old while their mother was ill with a terminal disease. UUGGH what I would give for a few minutes away…..Women are social creatures and we need contact to help us through the demands of childhood babble and events. Now my poor daughter in law is better and I am not needed as much but she is going nuts —we need our ” girl time” it is not wasted time guys.
It is a very rare person who spends all of their time with small children and doesn’t mind it. You need a break - someone who can talk to you at YOUR level.
If John thinks it’s a waste of time, maybe he should try to stay with the kids for, say, a week, with NO outside visits. He might learn something.

Men are human. We just don’t view events or other things the same as women, who puzzle us equally.

Nothing wrong with coffee with the girls. Instant shot of sanity.

I know if I were stuck at home with two preschool kids all day I’d want an hour or so with my friends too.

We love our men, but they see things differently and don’t talk to us.

Oh Elly, you seem so desperate… I’m worried about you!

John, Michael, and Liz aren’t human? Time to send Elly packing to the loony bin before she accuses Farley of being a spy for the government…..

cozygirl… I appreciate your sympathetic heart, but, dear, Elly is a cartoon character. ;)

I don’t think it’s a waste of time but “coffee klatch” is a really stupid name.
