[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 607977, member: 6705"] MWM, I'm late to this, but I have to tell you... I hoover at social situations. I don't do well at all. Rose is a HUGE help there. I'll explain... Last year - when I was pregnant - Pat's softball practices and games were mostly up to me, since husband was working and working and working. There were several other obviously pregnant moms there. I wanted very badly to talk to them, as I saw them talking to each other, but I wasn't good at starting conversations - and when I finally got the courage up to walk over to one of them, another came up and they started chatting - and walked away, never noticing me. Hardly their fault. I did this several more times, and, well... One or two comments, and that was it. Even the day I brought snacks I was mostly ignored, even by the kids! Fast forward to this year. Rose was with me when I was there. EVERYONE wanted to say hi to the pretty baby, and talk to her and her Mommy. I was still uncomfortable, but feeling far more included... [/QUOTE]
