[quote=Anonymous]I love my kids and I'm glad I had them, but I also hate a lot of the daily grind involved in "being a mom". The good news is that truly, you can simply stop doing a lot of this stuff and nothing bad is going to happen because it just doesn't matter in the long run. I don't volunteer at their school, shuttle them around to activities, cook a home cooked meal every night etc because I don't like doing those things and life's too short to be miserable all the time. I genuinely do enjoy just hanging out with my kids with no plan and no need to hustle them around on a schedule, so I make space for that and often take them on long weekend trips to places we both enjoy. Like, we go to Manhatten on the regular but I'm not taking them to Great Wolf Lodge or whatever because I wouldn't enjoy it and having kids doesn't mean you're signing up to completely disregard your own needs and desires for 18 years.[/quote]
