Third baby in under three years — years of birth trauma, multiple dark nights of the soul and sleep deprivation. Then, when I went back to work last autumn, life became an almost unbearable pressure cooker of work, babies, babies, work. The idea of being somewhere completely removed from the seemingly never-ending demands of work and family life felt like a welcome reprieve. These are the kind of conversations I expected to have with other parents but have found to be rare. Maybe that would be the key to building a real sense of meaningful community?
