I can understand where you are coming from Kellee, I was concerned about the same. While truthfully there are some comparison's made, I have found that its not too much and those that I hear have helped me understand Matilda better. Does that make sense? Just hearing someone else say how full-on Matilda appears to be, helps me understand that she is full-on & its not just all in my head...

Talking about kids is how we get to know each other yes, but through our kids I have met girls that I can relate to better...so I guess its a way to start or form friendships with others who are in the same situation as you.

So I guess I would say you are right about both things, there are comparisons made and we do spend some time talking about kids, but its not all that there is going on. And I guess its a stepping stone for some of us who don't know heaps of other people with kids.
