"...but the kids keep leveling up the complexity." and "It’s hard to accept that they’re not my project and my product, that they’re not here to prove my value." you are def articulating things that have been heavy on my mind now that all my kids are teens and tweens. Am I doing it right? Wrong? And my ego - sigh how much is my ego playing a role in all of this. I enjoyed the post! Thank you Alix (Also, I started wearing an apron in the last two years - is it an age thing too, do you think? I just finally got sick of tiny oil stains on my clothes!)
This is such a funny take on deadly serious subject matter that can only be dealt with by laughing, or going crazy. Love that dinner prepared by working CEO (it's those five cucumber slices along with photo). Hell, she's myt best friend too!
