Is OW just batsh!$ crazy?

[twinmom]

I have great friends but they work! They aren't available to me 24/7 and who the heck asks someone else to help at their kids birthday party?

Sorry, but how am I supposed to say "please come help me run after kids at my son's party but don't forget to leave your kids with a babysitter" kinda rude.... so I just suck it up do what I have to and break down later in private.

And THERE IS NO WAY IN H$@@ I WILL EVER PLAY A SYMPATHY CARD to have someone do something for me. I have asked my mom for help, it created more work/trip to the hospital for me.
I will not ask H for help.
Sometimes I ask friends for help but they are not my babysitters/maids/handy man. There is a huge difference in a friend being there when you need to cry and coming over to cut the grass for you.
