[quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between your identity being wrapped up with your kids and your TIME being consumed with kid and family related tasks. My time is pretty well packed with kids and family, and if asked what I've been doing recently, I don't have a lot to say that's not kid related. But I still have interests outside my family and my identity is separate from them. Now that my first is off to college and my second is driving, I only need to chauffeur the third and I'm starting to see some daylight in the craziness, I need to plan more specific things for just myself. There were a couple of days/evenings last spring that I was "untasked" and I was so surprised by the free time I wasn't sure what to do with myself. [/quote]
