Boy I have been feeling this exact sentiment so much this week. We have a child, and there's just nothing like church out there for families. Church is free (though they do expect a tithe) but the family activities are so plentiful. It's like all the classes and small groups and stuff come with free childcare, including the Sunday service. Most all of the suggestions here are not kid friendly and i just don't have the resources to pay for childcare once a week so I can do a fun activity, class, or club focused on adults. I already use my parents once a week so I can attend therapy and I feel bad enough about that to ask for anything more.
I did look up my local UU and they have a game night that includes childcare, but I'm going to have to attend services for a while before I trust anyone new with my child.
I am a parent too. I feel for you. The isolation is real. I am checking into UU too
