Ha! Too funny. I'm a near-tenured professor. I assure you I'm not fratting out. I'm talking about things like wine tastings, coffee, art museums, etc. Not stupid shit kids in their 20s do in DC like softball leagues or kickball.[/quote]

Hi near-tenured professor.  We (DH and I) want to do these grown-up things like coffee, wine tasting, art museums etc.  But we are sleep deprived and we have to do kid stuff.  The consequence of not doing these horribly mundane and exhausting stuff means that we fall behind to the extent that it is difficult to catch up.  Plus we have to work, do house stuff, take care of work projects, health problems of our elderly parents and sick kids and basically be parents.

Will you still be around when we become empty nesters? Because that will probably be the time that we emerge from our parental fog.

On the other hand, if you promise not be judgmental and drop by for just a pizza and beer in a chaotic household, we would love to see you. [/quote]
