35 years of 4 children in school. 40 years of parenting minor children. My children are 40, 37, 21 and 19. We worked off shifts and weekends and expected nothing from the grandparents. I did my time. I’m not assisting Susie homemaker with her decisions at this stage of my life. The couple can figure it out like we did.
No, daughter one is a LEO and daughter two is a cosmologist. My two youngest went to private school that was full of “Susie homemakers” mothers. Their houses were a mess, their children took lunchables for lunch, and some came in wrinkled school uniforms. Yet these bastions of virtuous motherhood had no problem vilifying me and the one other working mom, a lawyer, except when they wanted a donation for their latest project. Then we were just fine and dandy. My children grew up with career parents. They are all grown, well educated, gainfully employed, and decent citizens. SAHM only works when they see as they should…their job.
No. I did my time in parental purgatory. Not doing it again.
What , pray tell, is parental purgatory?

Sounds like you’re still in purgatory. Does the 420 mean you’re a pot smoker?
It’s my birthday. I’ve never smoked anything in my life.
