You grew up in a wealthy family and trained in opera, but ultimately you didn't quite have what it takes to make it in that world. You turned to nonprofit work, where you ran into the son of one of your parents' friends, who you hadn't seen since before high school. He had done well at Harvard and was personally asked by the Chairman of the DNC to run in a difficult to win northeastern congressional seat. He lost, but picked up lots of friends in the right places. He went to Harvard Law school and then to a big firm. You decided to get your Ph.D., which you were still working on when Christian came along. He took up so much time and then Henry came two years later. You're still hoping to finish your thesis, which is in an obscure area women's studies. Maybe when Henry starts at private school. |

There's more than 1 person writing these but one person is obviously talented. Kudos. Some of these are hilarious.

Twins that came along at 39 - you wanted kids a little more than your husband, but he loves them to pieces and now that they're in school he helps them make their lunches every day. You're still carrying more than a little bit of the baby weight but it doesn't bother you. You're the quietly hilarious type and have been successful but not a stand-out your whole life. You splurge on a house cleaner, drive a CRV, and try out yearly for Jeopardy. |
I still don't. |
This one is my favorite. I feel the same way about stairs. |

Catholic family. Children in private schools. Mom's a cradle Catholic, one of eight children. Husband was raised nominally Christian in New England, but agreed to marry in the Catholic Church and raise the future children as Roman Catholic. Two Easters ago, he went through RCIA and converted! Prayers answered. He's now a more fervent Catholic than his DW. Mom wonder often just how God can make five children from the same parents each entirely different from one another. These children keep you running, Mom. Good thing you left your teaching career behind immediately after Caroline was born! There are not enough hours in the day. You exclusively breastfeed and that's mostly helped you space your children out to a manageable 18 months apart. Suburban mom who lives very near the parish so she can go to daily Mass. Makes her own baby food. Dirty blonde hair perpetually in need of touch up. Cleans her own house but is not a perfectionist. Can't be. Too many children for that. Kids are decidedly free range...they do not need constant supervision. Mom frazzled but knows these glorious, chaotic days are to be treasured. Teddy often plays priest with his younger siblings as parishioners. |
