Hi Labug, Thanks for your quick response. I can see your point.
My goals for me outside of my M are pretty much what they always have been - to be a good mother, to look after my parents, and to do well in my career.
I think I've been getting better at the former two, and I'm still plugging along OK, given the circumstances, with my career (Just handed a final book manuscript to the publisher yesterday, put in a big grant application last month, and my latest post-grad received examiners' reports recommending a commendation for her PhD, just today).
BUT - and here comes the resistance - I still have to respond to H's request about his interaction with the kids.
And I still want to save my M. So, from a DB perspective, or in terms of hard-won experience, I'm just wondering if anyone can see a better path to chose here?
