Where's her native country--Wackyland? She sounds lonely and bored and devoid of common sense, but her drama-machine is working overtime.
Day camp, summer school, AYSO, swimming lessons, hiring an au pair, babysitter, nanny: none of these ideas occurred to her?
Why is grocery shopping such an ordeal? Maybe she needs a blog, since the novel writing isn't working out--blogs give you an audience and a creative outlet.
She doesn't want advice, she wants to be reassured that she is lovable--just the way she is, even if the way she is is off-putting and deluded. (All mothers think they're crabby and selfish--but the LW wants so badly to be spesh-ul. What do you bet she gave the kid a K8tive name?)
(And maybe she needs to read up on astrology-the sun sign stuff clearly has her confused.)
