[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP might be rage bait but I have wondered this. I only have two kids but haven’t felt overwhelmed. I have two neighbors, one a SAHM, with only children and they constantly talk about how busy and stressed they are. I think you see life through your own lens and certain outlooks encourage those feelings of stress and overwhelm.[/quote] Maybe its not the kid, and having an only but other stressors in their lives. Mine had special needs that required daily therapies plus I was the sole caretaker of a MIL with dementia. Plus, my own health issues. I didn't share it wtih most. Plus, somethine else on top of that.[/quote] Not really. I know these neighbors very well and their families. They have low energy and high anxiety. But, if something legitimately goes wrong, it’s like their energy levels expands. Their day to day set point isn’t strong but their emergency response is good. [/quote]
