I have always has problems relating to other women... even when I was little, I didn't want to play mommy and house with the girls... I wanted to play trucks and building blocks with the boys. Then as I got older... the girls in my class were soo clickie and I didn't want to be identified in a certain group so I was "friends" to all, but only had one or two very close friends, (and my best friend was a guy...).
All through college, I didn't get into the college experience... to me, college was the means to an end of school and getting on with life. So, only close friend I had was roommate, who died a few years after we graduated (she was born with lung problems). On to work... I made a number of girl friends there... some who I though were very close - one stood up in my wedding, the other is my son's godmother... but since leaving that company to stay home with Jake... and now that I'm homeschooling, that makes me even odder to them...
Then in the homeschool groups... I feel like the odd ball again... I only have one kid...
I can't relate to the teaching multiple grades while keeping little one's busy, etc... and they all have their own clicks, too.
So, I've never really had that close girlfriend thing... at times it saddens me, I feel like I'm missing out...
