[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to the friends and family you used to “help” and “be there for”? Could you still make plans to see them?[/quote]

It feels impossibly hard at the moment (I know that sounds silly / pathetic).  They’ve asked me to go out to dinner but dinner / bedtime is still too tough for dh to manage on his own bc it’s the combo of witching hour and 2yo meltdown for attention. By the time bedtime is over I’m too eager to get to bed before the night wake ups to go out to dinner. On weekends the toddler is too high energy to sit through a brunch and the baby cries if he’s not in motion so while I could take a kid to meet a friend it’s just a stressful experience where I feel like even less of an individual person bc I spend the whole time stressed and distracted by a child [/quote]

I totally get that. But what about other things, like maybe someone can just come to your house with some coffee or a treat for an hour? Do you have any friends with children? Or maybe you can just make time to call or even email a friend? [/quote]
