[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]

[b]I literally don't even understand how to make close friends and have/be a support system in our modern society. [/b]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.

Same. I don’t get the impression anyone wants friends unless they were childhood friends with you. No one wants to grab drinks or lunch with me. Everything is about kids. Perhaps it’s me and people dislike me, but I don’t see others socializing. [/quote]
