I'm just curious to find out what the 'norm' is.
I have a 21 month DD who I look after full time. Today, she is staying over at my parents to give me a much needed rest. So today, I have spoken briefly to my mum on the phone and when she came with my dad (who I said nothing to) to pick DD up. It was just basics about DD's needs etc, no full chat or anything. I have texted a couple of friends and been to the cornershop but that is literally the total of my interactions with other people today.
I have college twice a week in the evenings so I get to chat to people then. I go to toddler groups (at least once a week ) so have small talk with the other mums then. I have close friends who I try to meet up with at least a few times a week for a coffee and chat.
I am generally quite shy round people I don't know so find it daunting launching into conversations with people I don't know.
There are a lot of days though that it seems to me that I hardly speak to anyone other than DD (and she is not a great conversationalist being a toddler!).
I think I have turned into some sort of hermit. Am I weird/unusual or are other people like this too?
