Had not thought about it but fact is, when I was a teacher, my kids and I had the same holidays and summers off, much of the time. In fact, we spent several summers together on an island, and all of us had summer jobs to pay the rent and have a great summer holiday. Those were some great years and if I had a job I didn't love, I changed jobs and loved the work that I did for about 60 years. I separated job from work, jobs being what I had to do to get to my work and the work is the part I cared about the most. Artists of all kinds including writers and performers, painters, poets, sculptors, and many others know this better than most. Philosophers too. See my recent post, "Creative Artists" for real life examples in different genres.

I loved those years with my three children! I worked as a teacher so had the same holidays. I appreciated every moment!

That’s good, Kristin. We do what we have to do. We only get one shot with raising our children.

Hugs
