Most days there's an overwhelming sense of “I am alone in this.”
I overhear a fellow mom talking about her weekend plans thanks to “Mimi and Papa” watching her kids . I see sweetwalking hand in hand with their grandkids to school as I frantically wrangle my kids into their car seats, barely making it to the carpool line in time to shove my son out of the car . I have friends who drop their kids off at a family member’s house while they run to the store, appointments, anywhere.. Because I can’t even fathom having that kind of help and support.
I can’t count the number of times I have taken all four of my young kids to appointments they shouldn’t have been to . And speaking of medical appointments, I recently realized that I don’t even have a doctor. We have lived in the same city for three years, and I have yet to establish a primary care doctor.
And my six-year-old could not even relax as the patient. His younger brothers fought to capture his bed, yanking his limbs and yelling at him to “get off!” They tried their best to destroy medical equipment and threw little toys the nurses were kind enough to give them in the biohazard waste.. When we finally decide we are completely overdue for a date night or have something that we absolutely cannot take the kids to, we splurge for a night out.
