[quote=Anonymous]We don't have family at all and we were the first of our friends to have kids. Here is what we did --- and it is working! Hired a nanny (instead of day care) - this provides some person how knows our kids in emergencies. Now that our kids are much older, we have used her for an occasional overnight with the kids while we are driving distance away. Made new friends with kids friends parents- so we can have people who love us and our kids and we use them for emergency contacts, etc. Kids involved in the neighborhood sports and activities so we know people in our neighborhood and we can stop by various neighbors if we run out of sugar. During a blizzard, we had several neighbors come to our house when we were the only ones with power. Public school for the kids so we bond with close neighbors. That's it - it's hard and I'm jealous of those with close parents, but we also keep in good touch with our relatives and visit and they visit us.[/quote]
