@natroberts88, Can relate, my in laws are up the road. I asked my husband if we could move closer to my family and refused point blank. He says there's no need and he doesn't understand my need for my own family. So rude. I do have a lot of friends but not local. It can be isolating now that I'm pregnant family feels so important to have around me but only a handful visit Hun. Do understand. I get in the car these days and make my journey over to them. I'm sure it'll be the same when baby is here as shattered as I'll feel. OH works from 7am-7pm. Sorry you're going through this, and I hope your OH listens to you. Xxx
