[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here-i didn't intend to imply free labor needs at all in my post. I was talking about friends, another human to speak with who is a parent, a date with my husband, some companionship. I literally have no one to talk to. [/quote]

Do you have college friends in the area or college alumni group?  When I first moved here, I had a few friends from college and DH went to college in the area.  Have you looked into moms groups or meetups?  I agree with the PP that said it can take years to develop close friendships  and you kiss a lot of frogs along the way but my closest friends that live nearby originated from a mom’s group.  Do you work out/are you a member of the YMCA? Sometimes they have childcare available and you can add exercise into your day and see other adults.  I’m not into running but I know several moms that have made close friends through their running group.  Does your neighborhood have a block party?  That’s been how I’ve met neighbors and learned who has kids the same age as mine and who has high school teenagers that babysit.
