Isolation

I've always said I'm lucky for living with my sisters in law that they work evenings and my husband works days so there is usually someone in the house to talk to and so far i've not felt lonely at all.  Until today, sisters in law had their civil partnership last saturday and on wednesday went away on honeymoon for two weeks so today I woke up after hubby had gone to work, there was no one in but me and the bubba, I realised that today would be identical to yesterday, sat in the house with a grumpy baby who seems to be teething with no one to talk to till 7:30 when hubby gets home, I don't really have many 'real life' friends, mainly through Facebook and forums etc so I had no one really to call on to go out with, I decided to invite my mother in law out for the day. It might sound odd but she's one of my closest friends, she was too busy.
I'm sat in the house fed up and with no options to go out, after 20 min of the coronation street omnibus I had two options, top myself or go out alone and still have no one to talk to.
Quite sensibly I decided to go out and off out to a park we went, had a nice walk round and Flynn had a go on his first swing, one of those big ones that look like a disk, he laid there giggling away and even though I still had no one but Flynn to talk to but it was nice to be out at least, walking back through town to the car a kid about 7, was running towards us, tripped and fell into the pushchair luckily the snack tray/bumper broke his fall and Flynn wasn't hurt but the kid smacked his face really hard on the plastic tray, no idea whether he was injured as he just got up and ran off, no apology or anything!
Do we not teach manners and concern for others anymore? Where were this boys parents? I'm also shocked that in a busy town centre no one stopped to ask if we were ok while I was trying to calm down a terrified baby. I'm still quite upset about it and I just hope I can bring Flynn up to be more careful and to have manners and basic humanity.

So I'm putting out a call to all the mummies out there please help your children to grow into polite and nice people, our babies and children will make p the future and its up to us to help them to be the best people we can.
