[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you find yourself again? [/quote]

Once my youngest was 2 yo: I got a ballbuster job again (i.e. got OFF the damn Mommy Track, downshift job I tried out), starting working out at 6am or 9pm most days, scheduled social nights w/ spouse and sometimes other couples, bought all new work clothes, and made super good friends with my kids' school parents, sports parents, dance parents, etc.

My husband took my cue and starting working out again and not dumping household mgmt. on me. No time for deadweights.  I basically stopped putting myself last. I did however, have to continue to run the household myself and all the kid stuff.  My husband did ZERO in terms of getting the in to private school and to this day, does not know anyone from school, their teams, the neighborhood or their schedules. He's a workaholic ADHD'er. Brilliant at the office of course. And his Mommy is so proud.  But at home he is left in the dust, as he prefers it.  This I had to accept. Thankfully we only have girls.
