I have pretty strong feelings about it, which I'm not going to lay out in a blog comment. Ultimately, you and your husband have to work out what's best for you and your parents or random people just can butt the hell out. I stopped listening to my parents about 20 years ago and am very comfortable with that decision!A Free Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038930031019179647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332079246666158179.post-6423023119244264382009-06-24T12:01:58.555-07:002009-06-24T12:01:58.555-07:00I'm right there with you.

Not looking forward to it. Teaching calculus? Not going to happen until the other calculus teacher retires. Which means I'd be teaching general math and hating it.<br /><br />What I really want to do is be an archaeologist, which makes bupkis. So? I'm stumped just like you.Coal Miner's Granddaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320077738770745217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332079246666158179.post-14104643722844576192009-06-24T08:14:12.186-07:002009-06-24T08:14:12.186-07:00I can sympathize, but I can't empathize. The ...I can sympathize, but I can't empathize. The three months I spent at home with Celeste and India during maternity leave were three of the longest and most depressing months of my life. I thought I was going to go out of my mind. Then again, Celeste cried today when I took her to day care, saying, "I just want to stay home with you, mama!" Yeah. Guilt to the max. Maybe you can find a 3/5ths or 4/5ths position - nearly the same $$ and bennies, and that fraction makes a HUUUUUGE difference. Sorry about the other position.

She will not resent you. <br /><br />Re: the finding the new vocation, I have the exact same thoughts at times, maybe its a mid-life thing. I know I would be happier doing something else, but what? and I can't pull my sh*t together enough to figure it out or make it happen.Phoning It Inhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922092582986096913noreply@blogger.com
