[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, teenagers aren’t very subtle but it is a valid question. Why do you need to be at home all day and not at work? It isn’t the 1950s. Hire a cleaner and order everything like groceries, etc. [/quote]

Because I can! And I like to play tennis and do pilates after drop-off b/c I am #1 chauffeur from 3-9 pm with sports, activities, etc. [/quote]

[b]Okay, but to a teenager, that’s a pretty lame way to spend day in and out.[/b] They probably see other moms who work and do the things you do. [/quote]

I'm responding to YOU, who is seemingly not a teenager. You're the one who said "It isn’t the 1950s." And thank god for that because I can have my own credit card, own my own property, etc. I can also show up for my kids any time of day without outside help which is something I value. Doesn't make my way right or wrong, and I know I am more privileged than most.[/quote]

Your kids are probably in private school and are headed to college. To see someone who did the same thing and then not work while living off a spouse financially is not a good look in their eyes. That opinion comes out as, “What do you do all day?” [/quote]
