Hey buddy, stay at home dad of two sons age 3 and 1 here :) Some of this I could relate to, as far as yeah it is actually a ton of hard work being a stay at home parent, and the work is never over. It never relents. I feel pretty lucky to be in this position though, honestly, I love getting to spend time with my kids. Sorry it has been this isolating experience for you - for whatever reason, moms have been super happy to talk to me when I take my kids out. Actually women in general tend to treat me like a superhero when I am out and about with my two kids. All the time, coming up to me, touching me on the arm while telling me how awesome I am being. I wish I could share some of that good juju with you. Good luck mate!

Much love - Carl
