[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, teenagers aren’t very subtle but it is a valid question. Why do you need to be at home all day and not at work? It isn’t the 1950s. Hire a cleaner and order everything like groceries, etc. [/quote]

Because I can! And I like to play tennis and do pilates after drop-off b/c I am #1 chauffeur from 3-9 pm with sports, activities, etc. [/quote]

Okay, but to a teenager, that’s a pretty lame way to spend day in and out. They probably see other moms who work and do the things you do. [/quote]

13 and a DD is also right about the age academics tend to ramp up. If mom is on her about that and thinks it's important to do well in school and go to a top college, she probably looks at OP like she's kind of a loser. Why do all that to have a life of tennis, pilates, and playing driver? It does sound kind of lame. No volunteering? No hobbies beyond hanging at the club? Doesn't sound like someone necessarily doing tons of housework either and there are no little kids, teens mostly have their own lives and should be somewhat self sufficient. [/quote]
