hey , i understand that kind of a rut ..
neither my wife or i have family support so we've done very little outside of our immediate family (me, my wife, and my son)
although that makes for a strong little unit - we also need to get back to our 'before lives' once in a while.
We had a fantastic babysitter for a while but she's older and scarcer now.
Its been a year since we've gone anywhere without our little guy.
sometimes you just need to get out for an adult night ... so we're getting cabin fever to be sure.
adding to that is my obsession for getting the house ourged and cleaned up.
I've been sorting and disposing of books, computer shit, toys, etc .... for over 6 months now.
it occupies all my spare time.
our house was the central meeting place for our friends - we entertained 1 or 2 days out of every weekend .. now all i do is sort/move/build shit and by night time i'm dead tired. and the house isnt ready to receive guests.
so yeah ... i understand the frustration and the feeling of isolation.
its nothing against the family - its just healthy to get some outside stimuli from time to time .. and usually work doesnt cut it.
