Who else feels like not having a "village" is the worst rn?:(

Single mom of 2 and I ask for help from family maybe here and there maybe every other month, like hey can someone babysit so I can do this important thing or whatever and it's normally an I'll let you know or oh I am busy maybe another time and then I'm forgotten again. For my birthday I wanted to feel pretty:[ (because I'm depressed and really don't lately at all) I thought for once someone could help me. I asked for help for an hour to get my hair done. And again nothing. This time I pushed it tho. I said how that's all I want for my b day and asked like 3 times even. Now I'm giving up. It's just sad. My oldest is on the spectrum and youngest is a baby. All of my energy is gone within the first few hours of the day. It's so hard to get anything done. I'm lucky if I can get groceries, constantly canceling appointments because my oldest will refuse to leave the house, baby is teething and whines a lot more lately. I miss myself. It wasn't supposed to be this way 😕

I don’t want to say I have no village because I do have a very few people that do step but in the event of an emergency but I essentially have no one. It’s really sad and lonely and it sucks. I feel like I have to beg people to even come visit or hang out with me.

@Alyssa I feel this as well. It's really sad definitely. Before I had kids my sister would come over like 5 days a week.. I haven't even seen her in 2 months

Yeah it’s unfortunate because it’s when we need them most. I honestly stopped asking peoooe to come over or visit and it was no surprise that everyone just stopped. No one ever asks me what I’m doing or suggests a visit. It’s really sad
