[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just throwing a different perspective out there -- it's possible some of your SAHM friends are just tired of being around people all the time and don't want to socialize at all. Pre-covid, I WAH part time while my child was in part-time childcare, and then was home with her the rest of the time. So I was home most of the time, but by myself, and even when my child was home, sometimes she'd be napping or playing on her own.

Now I'm WAH, my DH is also WAH full-time, and our kid was out of childcare for 6 full months (finally back in a couple days a week, thank god).

I love my husband and kid but I am so tired of being around people. All I want is alone time. I miss my mornings at home alone so much. I do not have much energy for socializing with other friends out of the house, less because of Covid fears (I'm fine just wearing a mask and staying outside), but more because I'm fried and just want to be alone. I'm an introvert and this is way too much togetherness for me.

I can imagine that I would feel differently if DH was working out of the house. But he's not, so I don't. Maybe some of your SAHM friends are like me, and just don't have anything left for socializing after spending all day every day with their families cooped up at home.[/quote]

This is an excellent point. Thank you for this perspective. [/quote]

That is a much kinder and more useful response.
