[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your 5 yr old is old enough for school.  Your two year old needs to be run ragged. Take him to the playground in the morning Then home, lunch, nap, reading, then pick up the 5 yr old, playground for both, then dinner.

What does your DH do to contribute if he refuses to cook? Why can't you make friends?  Get your kids flu shots, get them wearing masks, and go to story hour at the library, and fun classes for them that are active. [/quote]

I don’t have a second car. Dh takes the car 3 days a week. This hasn’t been a problem until recently because he has been working from home. We do have a playground I can walk to. I do have people I can talk to in my condo building, the door man, another mom and a few seniors. I talk to them all on a daily basis but they aren’t my friends, Lol. Right now, story time isn’t being held where I live. I take my kids to the ymca. I think I need to admit that I should find a job because it’s better that my kids aren’t around me. [/quote]

Then get a second car. You can MAKE friends with the mom and seniors in your building (the doorman is working). You can put up an ad on your neighbborhood list serve to have a twice-weekly playgroup meet at the playground. You can still go to the library - when my DD was a toddler we could easily kill two hours in the library. [/quote]

I have been at this for more than 5 years and it's just not working out. Sometimes you gotta stop fighting things. There are tons of posts about none of us having time to spend time with each other. A lot of SAHM are depressed so I am basically looking for a unicorn to be my friend.  I have met so many SAHM who homeschool and are anti-vax. They're pushy about their choices.
