Very much minding our own business, the world our children will live in will be made also by other people's children.

An alternate thought โ€” maybe she just wants a break from her child to take care of herself, like take a shower? The socialisation thing is a lie, of course, but could be one she tells herself to assuage her mum guilt? If sheโ€™s taken him to a good daycare and didnโ€™t have other options eg. family close by, consider that sheโ€™s just trying to help herself find a village, even if itโ€™s paid for. Throughout human history, motherhood was never supposed to be โ€œdoneโ€ alone; itโ€™s a myth in the Western world today that mums have to do it in isolation, but many of us live in such individualised silos these days that services like these are the only option. If Iโ€™ve learned one thing from matrescence, itโ€™s โ€œput your own oxygen mask on firstโ€.

Also an alternative thought, maybe I am upset cuz my community of moms and kids my son can play with is shrinking and now we can only get together on Saturday and Sunday like with every other mom I know. But who cares, not like I need to shower or feel like I'm isolated ๐Ÿค

Homeschool co-op is the answer. Kids get some exposure to other kids, mom gets a break and youโ€™re mixing with parents that โ€œcareโ€ Search meetup, facebook, nextdoor, etc Also: Homeschool-life.com Outschool.com Bewildandfree.org ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป๐Ÿป

Just had our first 7 months ago. My wife, he, and I flew to spend time with family for a couple of weeks and I do have to say that he really has flourished with all of his cousins and other family around. He is much more vocal, seems to be more mobile, eating a bit better, etc. I think he was getting bored or having limited stimulus staying at home with my wife and I and occasional grandparent visits. We are thinking of some daycare once we get back home to keep the the action and engagement up until he gets a sibling.
