[quote=Anonymous]Health crises are clarifying moments OP - I bet some of the snotty responses you're getting are from people who haven't BTDT. We don't have a village or local family - we got through one tough time with some paid help, and mostly we just work really hard at juggling. That's life. One thing I'd suggest, if you want to ease your burden a little, is to get used to asking for help. Very very few people will offer unsolicited or just show up. You either have to reach out and ask specific people to do specific things, or you have to be comfortable with, forgive me the obnoxious phrase, pimping your needs a bit - do the FB pity post. I couldn't bring myself to do that, but I notice I'm also the WOHM who's constantly shuttling the kids of my SAHM neighbors to activities. Why? Because they ask, and I don't. So make a point to ask, not just when you need help but when you want it.[/quote]
