[quote=Anonymous]It's about inputs and outputs and everyone is different. Some people have lots of inputs (high energy naturally, lots of family support, money for outsourcing) and lower outputs (neurotypical kids, fewer kids, etc.). So they can afford to spend more energy on non-parenting pursuits because they have more coming in than going out. I have lower inputs than many of the parents around me. I don't lament that, it's just how life is, but as a result I do not compare my outputs with theirs if I can help it. Someone else has three kids in intensive activities, is on the PTA board, has a high paying job, and still manages to run marathons? Ok, great, it doesn't concern me. I'm doing a good job with the inputs I have. Sometimes I think I'm doing great, actually. It might not look impressive to other people because they just assume everyone has the same resources they have. Oh well.[/quote]
