Does your life have meaning?

And people wonder why taxpayers are very upset to be paying your salary and benefits...?

I love my children and have enjoyed taking care of them as they grow up, but they are teenagers now and need less looking after. My life is emptier and looks even worse as I look ahead. I'd like it to mean something, but being a parent, important as it is, does not fulfill me. I wish I felt differently because I want my life to matter, but it doesn't feel to me as though it does.

Do you have a college degree and if not, have you considered getting one?

You post this on every thread. Sorry you are jealous that your job sucks.

My life wasn't especially meaningful at all until I had children and decided to go part-time, and then quit altogether to stay home with them. I feel so fortunate to be caring for them and don't plan on returning to work until they're much older. For me, this is what life is all about.
