That evening Anita called her friends and invited them to Sunday brunch the next morning. Anita explained that she had been caring for her sister’s son and had been too busy to have anyone over the preceding weeks. Everyone accepted her invitation enthusiastically. They had missed being able to escape the kids for a few hours once a week and sit down to talk with adults other than their husbands. It gave them a chance to “let down their hair” and talk honestly about their lives with other adults who understood what it was like to take care of screaming babies, demanding children and unappreciative husbands.
