For shit sake....I'm done.
I'm trying to make mom friends. I met this girl at Target and she started asking me all these questions about me and Olivia and making small talk. Turns out she has a baby so I'm thinking ok, great, sounds like she wants to try hanging out. So I ask if she does play dates and she says she's too busy. So I feel stupid and rejected and like I wasted my time because she was talking to me for like half an hour and dammit, for the love of shit I could have been shopping. Thirty minutes wasted. I'm not getting any younger.
Then she tracks me down ten minutes later in another aisle and says that she wants to make staying at home work for me, asks for my number. When I ask her what she means she starts going off on a tangent about a work from home opportunity where you sell stuff on the computer blah blah blah.
F&$@. Pissed me off. Not putting myself out there again. So done 🙄

You could have responded with, "thank you, but my current full time job is fulfilling and a blessing, and I don't need to take away from that by filling my home with work I likely won't enjoy. 🙄"
I vote we make plans to one day live near each other 😂wet still need that coffee/sushi date.

@kambam, thanks, love. I'm trying not to. Olivia goes to daycare in September, so I'm sure I'll meet some mama friends then. It's just really annoying. I kept walking away as she was talking so she eventually got it.
@cindyespinoza87, yea I walked away from her mid sentence because I got SO damn irritated. It's like, I have a life and you just wasted almost an hour of it. With her being a mom, I would think she would understand how annoying that would be
@typicalwifegirl, girl that response would have been perfect! I should have said something like that to her. I got so frustrated that I just walked away.
And I totally second that vote! Coffee/sushi/girl time FTW 🙌🏻 Woot woot

Also I demand shopping rights to buy baby girl things 😂 I'm seriously outnumbered here. I need more sparkles and less fake farts.

@typicalwifegirl, lol omg I'm dying 🤣 absolutely! I see Target in our future. I get to buy those adorable boys stuff also! I found the cutest freaking outfits today in the kids section. They're making really great stuff for boys now. I used to shop for my nephew and all the clothes were so boring, but now I find the cutest freaking stuff

@babydiehl2016, I know! She was super aggressive also. Acted like she didn't normally ask people. STAHP. I'm on to your pyramid scheming ass. I know your games. I got a weird feeling, too. I should have trusted it. Next time that happens I'm going to throw one of those big bouncy balls they store in those big nets at his/her head.

Omg yes 😂 I love the direction boy clothes are going now. Some designer finally caught on. I love the little girl shoes though. They have stuff I wish I could wear!

@typicalwifegirl, so many times I've seen girl stuff online and I get excited and go to order my size and I feel like such a weirdo because it's made for girls 😂

I have that problem with dresses 😂I'll see something super adorable in store and ask my husband 'I wonder if they carry that in my size?" And he just looks at me weird.

Similar thing happened to us at our local target in Mission Viejo, CA. We could tell the employee was trying to tell a guy they didn't carry something and to order online, but she hinted at not the target site... I finally chimed in with, "get it on Amazon. It's cheaper (as the item was on our registry).
We chatted for a bit. I thought he was just being a super friendly dude. Then he dropped the bomb of being "retired at 23" because of whatever thing he was trying to sell... that was the moment I went around a corner and then said, "hey Josh, this thing we want is on sale! Should we get it now or wait for baby shower?!" And that was my husband's que to exit... they apparently like the target baby section cuz they're probably preying on mom's that want to make money, but need to stay at home... like me... cuz even as a vet tech, the money isn't great and wouldn't make sense to go back to work... I'd have to work 2 full time jobs to pay for care for my kiddo. Especially cuz she has a cleft palate and kind of comes with instructions... can't just hand her a bottle and let her go to town.... she has to be at a certain angle then sat up for a half our after feeding... It's tiring and not efficient for a large day care, and would be annoying for a small at home day care
