[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  No, I don't think she sees that I am exhausted.  This is why I am exhausted.  I am always rising to the occasional to put on my best happy, engaging, "make the AP feel like family" face, even when I so desire a break from her needs, desires, goals, and dreams on a daily basis.  She is a wonderful person.  But, at 9pm on a Tuesday and 7:00am on a Sat, I just want to talk to my kids, husband, or just not talk.  And I really don't want to plan her social events, restaurant recommendations, etc at those times.  Alas, its part of the gig, so I do it.  I was simply venting my periodic exhaustion.

PS  She also spends a ton of time at the house, so this adds to her need to interact with me so often.  I was also quite independent at 22 years old and discussed these types of things with my friends (I moved several times as a young adult including overseas).  So, I think I have also been quite surprised by the amount of interaction these young women need to have with my 43 year old self.  [/quote]
