Yes. And much worse. I had a good career when my child was born. I loved my job, but even the best one has loads of boredom built into it. Paperwork, budgets, dealing with associates who are more obtuse than said children... Ten and 12 year olds may be a pain, but they're certainly not boring. If they have the proper direction, that is. Children have a refreshing view on life and helping steer them is more important and more rewarding than anything I remember from my career. The worse part for me though is now my child is grown and I gave up my career. I really AM in a boring job which is the reason I have time to freep.
Well said. That this woman finds her children boring says that she is extremely self-involved with no intellectual curiosity or love of learning. Children can occasionally be trying, aggravating and tedious, but there are so many rewards for an engaged, receptive parent. The opportunities for personal growth while parenting are limitless.
