To be fair, I didn’t have much of a mom squad to begin with. But I did have some women with kids, of similar age as mine, that met up sometimes. We’d chat while the kids ran around. Their kids were also homeschooled, so we shared some things in common. They were nice. I was nice in return. It mostly played out that way — until the pandemic.
It was time to pull out the last stop I had — one I’d avoided saying because I’d thought it would sound immature, but now I was desperate for ammunition.
