[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd avoid you like the plague. An attitude like this marks you as ignorant, selfish and not at all concerned with other people in society.

[quote]They can’t believe so many of my “friends” are content to stay holed up in their houses for the duration of the pandemic. [/quote][/quote]

The PP might have been a bit harsh but I have to agree that there is something about the tone of your post, OP, that feels quite "off". I am guessing that you are not coming across to your friends as you think you are. Maybe use some of your down time to really be honest and look inward.[/quote]

I’m frustrated. And lonely. And perhaps a bit jealous that others have husbands at home and doting local grandparents so they’re less reliant on friends to get through the long days and months. [/quote]

OP I suspect your frustration is more about the fact that Covid is shining a spotlight on the difference between you and your other SAHM friends, i.e. help and support. Can you have a talk with your husband about this? I appreciate that he works outside the home but 2020 is different. He may need to scale back and help more or you may need household help if there are funds for it. Perhaps focus your energy on changing what you can.

Loneliness is a very human emotion. Hang in there.[/quote]
