[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]38 years of active parenting? No way. [/quote] This is what gets me. I hear what people are saying about spacing out the cost and the "hard parts", but the idea of having young children dependent on me for that long just sounds exhausting. That might be a reflection of dynamics in my own family (I have one kid who is particularly high needs, and a partner who absolutely tries to share parenting equally but also has some selective hearing/attention and learned ineptitude that contributes to me being the primary parent). I love my kids and am grateful every day for the experience of being a mother, but there is also a part of me that thinks about the independence I'll gain when they are grown and looks forward to that phase of my life, and I can't imagine having to wait 40 years for it.[/quote]
