Working moms in the news: "Great Friends: until they had kids"

From ChicagoBusiness.com - reporter Shia Kapos investigates friendships between moms that go south after one decides to head back to work. One mom reports about her friend:

"She couldn't imagine leaving her child (in day care) and would ask, how I could do that," says Ms. Salo, 43. "She was almost questioning my moral character."

Very interesting reading for those of us to do feel somewhat out-of-the-loop or altogether judged by those non-working moms around us. Another mom laments that perhaps she was just too quick to feel judged after looking back on the child-raising years.

How have your friendships with non-working mom friends stood the test of time? Do you sometimes feel judged or find yourself judging - or yes, jealous - about those friends who have the other full-time job: motherhood?
