[quote=Anonymous]My biggest surprise is that I really don't feel any of the terrible things described on DCUM (or other places for that matter). I'm not bored. I'm not lonely. I do not desperately miss adult-only interaction (although, I stay active with other parents). I get plenty of intellectual stimulation from listening to podcasts while doing chores or driving, and I'm more up-to-date on politics than my DH (who really SHOULD know more, for his job). I have plenty of hobbies. I alternate doing things the kids want (ie, sitting and playing), with outings (story time or playground or playdate) and my own interests (cooking, photography, fitness). Literally the only reason I wish I were still working was so that I had more of an identity at adult-only parties, especially when talking to people who don't have kids. But, that alone would be a silly reason to stick my kids with a nanny and head back to work![/quote]
