The Loneliness of Parenting Young Kids #005

Parenting is hard at every stage, but the isolation one feels with small children is unique in its difficulty.

In this week's episode we revisit the feelings of loneliness we had when our children were young. We discuss the incredible importance of husbands being with and seeking to understand their wives in the months (and years) right after having a child. We cover the pressures of modern parenting and the importance of community. Also, this episode includes a few ideas for overcoming loneliness, which are applicable no matter the age of your children.

Be encouraged and have hope: You can do it! And, it does get easier and less lonely!
