[quote=Anonymous]OP and PPs, I am really glad I clicked on this thread as these are all such kind, gracious responses.

OP, perhaps pick off a short term volunteer project, etc, so there will be an end point and might not necessarily overwhelm with your ailing parents. I am helping on a couple campaigns while getting through the transition of our youngest graduating HS and leaving for college.

Being a SAHM can be draining and feel random. Yet there is a lot of benefit in having flexibility. A good friend had to go back to work a few months back. Divorced, had gotten a professional degree, and was trying to hold out until her youngest had finished HS. But she got a good offer at the best hospital in area and knew she had to take it as the openings are rare. Alas, she is missing all these end of year touch stones so I FT and include her when I can. I decided I was not going to seek a FT job when youngest starts college as I want the flexibility of being able to go to parents' weekend, etc.

GL with your parents - they are so fortunate to have you![/quote]
