[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my kids and have been entertaining them nonstop. But my 3.5 year old is SO SAD to not see her daycare friends. It makes me wonder how SAHMs do it without daily friends for their kids. Are none raising extroverts? [/quote]

The routine day of a SAHM is nothing like a social isolation day you are currently experiencing.  Many of us have rotating play groups, meet up with friends at the park or library, take mommy and me classes, do half day preschool.  My own (adult) life as a SAHM is much more social than my career/office life was.[/quote]

Wtf? How can you guys compare the current quarantine situation where everything is closed except for necessities like grocery store and banks, to a life of being a sahm? These are 2 completely different things. I was a sahm for a few years when my twins were preschool age and we had a busy and engaged schedule involving weekly

part time preschool
play dates with their friends
outings to nature centers, library story times, museums, farms, etc
visits to see grandparents who live nearby 
classes like gymnastics, swimming, etc

How is that remotely similar to the lifestyle we all have right now with this pandemic?
