[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of this crap can be eliminated. You’re doing this to yourself. Your kids don’t need to be in constant camps or enrolled in multiple activities at once. They don’t need birthday parties beyond a cake at home. Stop doing silly extraneous stuff, learn how to say no sometimes, and chill out. [/quote]

Stop doing stuff to keep up with the Jones. If you’re very busy, screw baking cupcakes for some stupid school thing, and don’t get mad if your husband won’t do it either. If you don’t get off work till 5 in Springfield, do not even plan to try to get your kid to ballet practice at 5:30 in Reston. The laws of physics prevent it, and if your husband can’t get home till 6, it’s stupid to snarl at him about it.

Don’t be the silly women who complain about the labor they do including writing thank you notes for the husband and writing to prisoners for the church. That first one is his job to do or not do, and the second is just plain weird. Volunteer when you have the time, not when you don’t.[/quote]
