Yea I live in the same place I grew up, about a suburb over (10ish minutes probably depending how fast Im speeding...). Most of those women live in the same suburb we grew up in, a few moved to other areas in the city, but this isn't so big a city that it's a big drive or anything back home. I do have a pretty core group of friends, really a few different circles that I run in. I am fiercely loyal and protective of almost everyone in those circles, there are few that I consider frienemies that I am not very defensive of simply because I am sick of being crapped on and used by them and I stopped actively engaging them.
The sad fact is that, yes, many of them do have children, some multiple children. And it honestly scares the hell out of me what these kids will be like when they get older. These women have no shame about it at all. The two that did all that crap in the WW meeting seemed proud and were furious that they were asked to leave, not apologetic at all, very entitled. None of them, to my knowledge, ever was left wanting for anything. Spoiled. I wouldn't say we got all that we wanted, but we are all three driven and have some pretty crazy goals set and made for ourselves. It wasn't a very poor suburb, very middle class. And the grade school was private, the high school was public.
I REALLY wonder how much of it stemmed from us moving to a new subdivision when i was about 10. Before then, I hung with some of these girls, and we played together. When we moved, they didn't have me around anymore, and kind of moved on without me. The kids in this subdivision for the most part were not particularly popular, and those that were wanted no part of me and were in that other "clique". I tried VERY hard for a while to be accepted, but eventually I found my own group, and for the most part did ok. For a few years that went fine, the later ones though....that group either started to take over some of ours, or they didn't want to be affiliated with me.
I did fine for myself, just fine. They can either accept that, or they can F off. A lot has changed in 20-25 years. But I built a great reputation in my field, and I am happy.
