[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re rich and I’m on maternity leave right now. True, I’m not stressed. I’ve known money stresses and they’re terrible.

But I am so. bored. The meaninglessness swallows you whole. Every problem, solved with money. Lacking in real problems, I find myself fixating on nonsense small things wrong with my house like a bit of missing trim or places where the paint isn’t straight. Also wildly overplanning eldest DD’s birthday party. Maybe I’m just a boring person but it’s not fun at all for me to be idle. [/quote]

I am sure you know this, but: find a cause you are interested in and volunteer. For the cause and for you. [/quote]

Well first, as I said, I’m on maternity leave, but second, volunteers are usually just potential donors being pandered to. Rare will an organization hand over the reins for meaningful work. [/quote]

Meaningful work means more than showing up for 3 hours on Tuesdays and writing a check. It means taking on a big challenge at the local women's shelter where they need you to develop and train six young advocates who will help the women navigate the social service infrastructure and court system (child custody) so they can get their lives back to where they want to be. They are waiting for you; nobody else is jumping up to do it and you will (quietly) agree to do this for free. [/quote]
