[quote=Anonymous]Your parents only exist to meet your needs, and it's inconsiderate and selfish of them to want lives of their own once they've finished raising you.

Mom loves you, knows you love Dad, and never will tell you all the many ways that Dad was a miserable excuse for a husband. You who get outraged and call for divorce in every thread where a woman complains about her husband, you leave out the part "unless you're my mom."

Now that you're grown and established, she'd hoped you'd be mature and generous enough to be okay with her finally putting herself first and finding some happiness. We only get one life.

Like many women and men, Mom found caretaking and domestic activities onerous and dull, but she worked hard through your first two decades doing everything she could to nurture you and make your home. She finds childcare exhausting and tedious, especially at her age, even though she loves your kids. She wishes you'd hire someone young to babysit them and let her enjoy them on her own terms. She's sad to see you going through the loss of your father, but you don't see her losses, and she'll probably never let you see it.[/quote]
