the parenting in isolation is everything I reckon. it just plain sucks. i miss my friend that i had where we would just hang out and hang out washing together and drink copious amounts of tea. we did nothing special, or organised, we would just wander to eachothers house pretty much every day and just get about our days with company and a truck load of kids.

now the only people i speak to most days are the parents at pick up: 'hi, how you going?'. 'good, and you'. i want to poke my eyes out with mundane nature of it all.
