[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is a lot of administrative activity for sure.

I find parenting and making art fulfilling in a way that makes up for it though. Relationships in general can be satisfying, but none are as meaningful to me as parenting and I consider my relationship with my DC probably my life's greatest work. Also parenting is the rare activity that becomes less and less boring the longer you do it. The early years can be a slog even as they are more intensive, but as kids get older, parenting is less about doing everything for them and more about supporting them from the sidelines (while doing your own thing more of the time), making decisions, and being a sounding board. So less time filling out paperwork, arranging playdates, and making sure they brushed their teeth, more time having conversations with them, watching them explore their own interests and develop their own personalities. I've really loved that transition.[/quote]

I like this perspective. How many kids do you have, and how old are they?[/quote]
