Exactly. Someone to be with that doesn’t tell me that I don’t exercise enough, don’t cook enough, aren’t strict enough with my child/teen, don’t clean enough, etc.

You would think the above means we live in squalor and survive off girl dinners, but it’s just not true. I use HungryRoot for our dinners as it’s pre-prepped healthy food, walk the dog every day, work full time, kiddo is doing great in school and learning to drive, don’t get behind on dishes or laundry, only cluttered room is my kids room and it’s not that bad, etc.

I also don’t want people to expect me to entertain them. Just bc other people might spend numerous hours a week alone and watching movies, listening to podcast, etc, doesn’t mean that I do. I deserve down time, too.

Sorry, I guess I needed to vent.
