It is that time of year again. Back to school. And if you read any of the blogs written by Mom’s, it is a time of bittersweet. Stay at home Mom’s get a breather from being on call 24/7 with their kids.
That is the sweet part. The bitter part is that they no longer are on call. Someone else has their charges for a few hours a day.
And the Mom’s get to spend some childless time thinking about their kids.
The curse of being a parent. When they are with you, all you think about is your kids. When they aren’t with you, all you think about is your kids.
Blah.
As a parent you have 6 years to teach them how to be independent, and play nice. And after that you have X amount of years to teach them how to do all of that and not need you any longer.
Well, not need you quite so much.
Love them kids. Just can’t eat a whole one.
Namaste.
