[quote=Anonymous]OP, despite what all these crazies say, it is really not normal to care for kids all by yourself. My husband travels all week and I care for my toddler by myself. It's stressful. And you know what, it's only within the past generation that we started relying so heavily on the nuclear family. It is normal for you to have extended family, siblings helping to care for each others' kids, neighbors, etc. Taking care of your kids by yourself is insanely stressful. Yeah, clearly it can be done - but look at all these posters who have done it, and note how flipping mean most of them are. Maybe they were always mean and therefore couldn't get help, but maybe the stress of parenting alone made them really mean? Who knows. It's stressful. I know what it's like to have your family be so far away, and be disappointed that they can't be with you.[/quote]
