[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t stop thinking about this and letting it piss me off. My neighbor, a woman in her 60s, and I were having one of those fence line chats. She started asking me about DHs and my jobs. I WFH and DH works an overnight shift at a hospital, 6p-6a, so he sleeps all day while I work/kids are in school (except in summer, obviously) as sees us for a couple hours once he wakes before he heads to work. But he gets a lot of days off because of his schedule. My neighbor went on and on about how “isolating” and “lonely” it must me for me to have no adult interaction at home or work, how “unfair” I am stuck with the lion’s share of parenting, how “hard” our lives must be.

“Aren’t you so incredibly lonely and isolated, and isn’t it so unfair?”

I can’t stop thinking about it. None of it is true, of course—I enjoy the couple evenings a week with the house to myself. I enjoy WFH. We have teens so parenting isn’t what it used to be. I feel fulfilled.

So why are her words pissing me off so badly?

I am similar to you OP in that I irrationally let what others say affect me greatly. 🤨

I wish it wouldn’t but it just does at times.

For your own sanity -&gt;&gt; I would disengage personal communication w/this ignorant + clueless neighbor.[/quote]
