Had a thought – ran it by a cousin – Is it possible to quit the job of “parent”? – She said no… I’m still thinking about it.
No one told me that the job could get harder as the offspring aged. I was under the impression that it was supposed to get easier! (HA HA HA)
No one told me it would cost as much as it does. I thought the older they got, the more independent/less needy they became.
Someone forgot to mention that they can cause so much marital stress – Thank goodness Mr. Wonderful (husband)agrees with me most of the time (or else he would have a different name!)
Doesn’t every job have paid holidays and vacations? Then why do mine always COST me so much money??? …and another thing – I am pretty sure there is no pension plan with this job, either!
I think I might have to dust off my resume – There’s got to be better offers out there, somewhere! In the meantime, I will continue to show up for work, everyday – I’ll let you know if something better comes along…

Unfortunately too many parents just quit because of lack of fun! But your thinking through it isn’t selfish or petty. I know a stay-at-home Mom who just went back to work. She joked that she was sorry she didn’t give her family 2-weeks notice.
Her new job brings new stresses.
