It was the same for me and growing up in New York, I didn't have many friends because we were always stuck in the apartments. So it's like either apartments, going to school, going to church and back. school, church, sometimes a park, and back.

I definitely didn't have a sheltie childhood at all and that's really really hard I feel so bad for you that you had to do that because cold air does not make you sick but my mom really talk down on herself like a lot growing up so that's definitely one thing that I will not be doing
