[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do everything that needs to get done  for the house or for yourself when they are at school so you are home, driving carpools, having dinner and just being in the same house (even if you just surf DCUM while they are in their rooms).

[b]So hit the gym, meetup with friends,  tidying the house, and making dinner is about it? Okay I thought there was something else I was missing. I’m doing that[/b]![/quote]

So what's the problem? [/quote]

She just wanted to #humblebrag lol[/quote]

I took this thread as troll pretending to be a SAHM of teens just to mock their life and how little they actually have to do.  They do the same stuff as working moms, but the working moms ha e those 8 hours with no time to beautify, exercise and lounge/lunch.[/quote]

This! Definitely this![/quote]

You can think that, but I was just feeling guilty that I wasn’t being enough of a tiger mom or something. My own mom was depressed and my dad an unemployed alcoholic — I have no idea what role a ‘normal’ parent has of teens, I was basically on my own by middle school.

Now that DD is in high school, I have so little to do all day I was thinking of getting a part time job, maybe on flexjobs or something, but found many threads saying teen years need so much. Wasn’t sure if i should be researching college, test prep, interviewing tutors or what?!

[b]I would rather spend the time on something fun like the exercise class, and if that really is what most parents are doing I can relax that I’m doing right

Contrary to what many here would have you believe, there is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself and your life. The "busiest", most miserable person does not win. Be the kind of parent your kids need when they need it. This will ebb and flow. When you are not doing that, enjoy yourself. You only get one life. [/quote]
