[quote=Anonymous]I am feeling AdequateParent, and while she is funny and slightly tongue-in-cheek on some issues, she is speaking the truth on working and living in this city: I do NOT see a helluva lotta balance around here.

There may be some moms on here who are self-assured enough/secure enough/content enough to have sought out and established balance, but I would argue that MOST of us see and know those PARENTS (mom and dad equally guilty) who are addicted to the crazy.  The work hours in this city are bananas.  And people think it is normal.  And they are not working to survive...I am not even sure they know WHY they are working, they just ARE.

People can tell me that this is their passion/choice/need, but all I see is a rat-in-a-wheel, and not a whole lotta contentment.

And no one is really going to come on to this thread and say "yeah, my life is out of whack and my priorities are fucked and I got this all wrong somewhere in my mid-twenties and do not know how to correct the path b/c that would require CHANGE and SELF-KNOWLEDGE and that would probably threaten my marriage and career ladder or laziness and I love my nanny/daycare/never leaving the house or park life, so meh"[/quote]
