[quote=Anonymous]So you work really long hours at a job you don't like to support a lifestyle that isn't working for anyone in your family. Would you consider a radical change? Quit your job, move to a community and have a work schedule where your kids could have more meaningful experiences and responsibilities? Someone earlier in the thread talked about being the neglected child of professional parents-I think many of us have grown up like Milo in the Phantom Tollbooth, having all of our material needs met (and more) but having few deeply engaging relationships and experiences, and becoming boring and slothful in response. You need to find some love and meaning in your life and model it for your kids. And you could get divorced-I'm divorced and much happier, but without big changes beyond divorce your kids will spend 50% (or more if your DH makes a good case) in a slothful household, and you'll spend your time yelling and overcompensating to try and fight against the tide.[/quote]
