[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with PPs that you can't permanently stop parenting. (Actually, I know someone whose parent did that as a kid -- she just got sick of doing it all and walked away. He went into foster care. Astoundingly, he went to a college that people on this list would kill for their kid to get into. Not all his siblings fared as well, though, so I don't think I'd recommend that.) But, I do think it's okay to give yourself a little parenting vacation. I sometimes do that -- I'm basically like, feed yourself something from the fridge, do whatever homework you are going to do, give yourself a bath if you want one, but I am checked out for today. It's better than just losing it entirely, I think.[/quote]
