Being a stay at home parent is certainly a lot of work. I did it for a while until my son started pre-k. However his school follows the schedule of the local university so it’s just been he and I for the past 3 weeks during the holidays and for 2 weeks recently before that during Thanksgiving break.

We quickly fell back into our same routine of taking walks and working on his reading and writing.

But I am definitely familiar with the questions from the mothers at the playground or the fitness class he attends.

I just tell them that I was fortunate enough to retire at 40 and I’m presently trying to reinvent myself as a web developer.
