We've talked about, but her going back to school is probably the better option. She's taken some classes here and there over the years, but most recently she's taken them online, which I've told her is a BIG MISTAKE, in my opinion. Or at least I told her to mix it up with an online class but then one that's on-campus, so she can get the heck outta Dodge every once in awhile.
But the CONCEPT is the same, and you are absolutely right. She would not only feel better about HERSELF, but she needs to be less available to the children in my opinion. They definitely take her for granted, and she allows them to.
