[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intensive parenting causes the lack of support as parents don’t have time to have their own friends or their own lives. Too busy cultivating their kids so they can grab a spot in the shrinking middle class or smaller but bigger than it used to be UMC.

Some activities come with a support system though. Can’t deny that.

I’m getting my kids and I involved in a Church. [/quote]

I literally don't even understand how to make close friends and have/be a support system in our modern society. We are not religious. We've made some okay friends with neighbors and through sports, but I wouldn't call any of these people a "support system" and none of them were around before my kids went to elementary school.

Yeah people always say it takes a village. Where is that village? It’s either people with family around OR it’s a mantra repeated by users who take advantage of others’ time and energy. [/quote]

I'm a little sad reading this .. you don't have friends?

If a friend asks for help it's taking advantage?

You should share that with your therapist. [/quote]
