Echo,
Luckily I had already read your post before you deleted it. It was not too ranty.
I agree with Monte, but also wanted to say that I get where you are coming from. I have three kids and it is the same day, day after day. Sometimes it is just hard and when you feel like you don't have anyone to back you up or give you a break it can be so much harder. I don't know how old your children are, but kids are exhausting. As great as it is to be a Mom, it is one of the most exhausting and never-ending jobs out there.
I can also relate to your struggles with your "friends". I have quite a few friends that only seem to contact me when they need or want something. However, the reverse never seems to work out. They are always busy or have some other excuse. I don't know the answer to that problem, but know that I hear where you are coming from.
