[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have been here six years and have no friends and can't find a babysitter then the fault is with you not in u your stars.  Your parents do not need your permission or blessing to move.  You have no friends because nobody likes people who wallow in self pity.[/quote]

OMG back off (not OP here).

I can relate to OP, and I'm a native but my family moved away.  It's hard to have little ones when your work is grueling and you have ZERO family support.  I'm a lawyer, but DH works the most hours (75/week, Mon-Sat).  So in addition to being a lawyer, I have to do all the drop offs, pick ups, dr appointments (about 1-3/week due to several medical issues), and I do all the cooking, cleaning, pay the bills, do yard work - I do EVERYTHING.  And I am too freaking exhausted to even put myself out there to go on mom dates.  We have no babysitter set up either because one got a FT job and we recently had to let a long-time nanny go due to performance issues.

Obviously, many of you have no idea, probably because you do have family support, or a lot more time on your hands or can just throw money at the problem.  Well some of us do not have that luxury.[/quote]

Um...you are a lawyer andd your DH works lots of hours....you should be filthy rich. I was a teacher and my DH worked full time and we managed. Its all about priorities. DH can cut back his hours or you outsource more. What is the point of him working so much if you are miserable?

OP, you need to cut back on your spending so DH can cut back on his hours so you have family time. Your situation doesnt sound healthy.[/quote]
