Well being a mom is hard and exhausting but it's a great job to have as long as you look at it as it's a great job to have.
If I had kids, I’d cherish time away from them for sure, but I sure as hell would cherish with my time with them even more so.
When parents are excited, relieved to have kids go back to school or move out I really do not blame them at all. Criticizing his relief to have his son move out was never the point of my post.
The point is the boomer in question wasn’t celebrating having a break from parenting. He was celebrating that he no longer had to pretend to care about his son anymore because he did all the minimum requirements and now his son can go work at Starbucks for the rest of his life for all he cares because he never even wanted a son in the first place
I wasn't responding to the point of your post, rather the comments.
If he is excited for his sin to move out, in the im happy to be rid of you kindof way, I'm sure he was happy for him to be gone at school too.
I enjoy my alone time when my husband takes the kids somewhere or grandparents keep them for a while, or when I get to do an outting by myself. But being happy to get that time is diffrent then being happy and celebrating they will be gone for most of the day 5 days a week. Rejoicing in that is a similar sentiment to being happy that man's son is moving out and will be out of his hair.
Sure.
And they don’t care the school are telling them to be trannies either. Because that’s a conspirator theory, and as all boomers know, if you call it a conspiracy theory, the problem is not real.
