Work is rewarding, a lot of pressure has been taken off me at home with the death of my mother-in-law (who we were looking after in her terminal decline, so the person she used to be was already gone a while previously) I have experienced this twice already, with my father and father in law. I expect to have to go through this at least twice more in the near future. I once remarked to a friend that this feels like the last rite of passage into "adulthood". It sucks, but is inevitable. So it goes. Hang in there. Sort of getting into a similar situation with ailing parents here in India. Been thinking of ways to transition into this phase by either moving them to the US or me moving here for a while. and with my youngest child now at a school she can walk to so I don't need to do school runs In the US a statement like this would get you jailed, very likely. What a strange society that has evolved into. Curious why you say so. Certainly not a general state of things in the US. Our school district in Milpitas, California has the concept of “safe routes” which kids are encouraged to take to walk / bike to school. Bunch of kids do. Most kids, being last minute birds to wake up, opt to be dropped off. But the option is there. — VaibhaV
