The meeting starts at 9.30 am. I’m late.
The kids have to manage with takeaways. They love it, but I’m not sure if it is the right thing for healthy growth.
I stop in my tracks by the sarcastic look in my boss’s eyes “You’re not the only mother out here. We need to run a business.”
Life goes on. The kids are doing fine wherever they are.
I’ve developed lifestyle diseases, and need to move to an assisted home. All the stress has taken its toll.
And My children think I never had enough time for them.
It’s sad how universally true your story is. I wish raising children could be done without the other stressful responsibilities of being an adult. I wonder if there is a solution.

There are no easy solutions. Empathy is needed at all levels.

All of us have our blind spots – that all is well, till catastrophe strikes.

Life is difficult and I sometimes wonder if that’s not by some sort of design? Keep us running faster and further toward deeper exhaustion and, as you said, “lifestyle diseases”.
