[quote=Anonymous]You can’t rely on external approval and affirmation anymore (no promotion, raise, work recognition, etc.). All of that has to come from within. I see people go couple ways (or do both) - one is just go into ‘parenting’ all in... transfer all your energy and time into managing the kids. This works well when they are little but probably not sustainable as they grow up. Another way is have something that is not paid work nor kids that you love - these would be the marathon runners, non-profit volunteere, etc. I personally do a bit of everything - volunteer at school, girl scout leader, run a bit, read a lot and do some consulting work (same work I used to do before)... If I stay busy, I don’t really worry/care about what other people think. [/quote]
