-Totally with you on the healthcare thing. It's certainly far from perfect in its present form but it's a start.
-OMG I WISH I had this kind of time alone. So, so much. I crave alone-time. One day... your day sounds fantastic. And I totally know what you mean about being able to see yourself living on your own (barring awful tragedy).
-I'm getting that network of friends/other parents, etc since S started school, and man, is it amazing. One of the other mums has taken S on three separate occasions with her to watch her son play football, and he's been out of the house for hours at a time. We've also swapped children (S went with her son, her daughter came here) and I just love this idea that as they get older they're going to want to go and spend more time with other families, or have them over here, and it is just fantastic.
