Neither of our mums live nearby. My sil is moving soon. My neighbours are lovely, but I don't want to impose.
I am a diabetic and dh is a type 2 diabetic aswell. My mum has expressed concern that I have no support network - I am currently pregnant , although may have miscarried. My mum worries how I will cope.
What do others do, who have no family round them ?
I have considered placing an advert, so that I might find a nice older lady who could be called upon, or for babysitting, or in an emergency I would have someone to call upon.
What are the alternatives ?

I have no support network. No one to call upon, without it being a liberty. Would you advertise for a "Mrs Doubtfire"
