"Don't ask me where do my time and money go. -HH"
with child in tow, rest assured nobody will ask
i seriously doubt it, else i won't get asked so often.
only parents, or to be more precise, parents without helper or extended family support ( means not staying with or nearby their parents/in-laws ) understand that well. :s
u cud do well to deduce fr that experience that the average individual u met do not possess the pause and insight therefore not suitable for deadpan explanation but a nod and a smile for ur child.
or was it perhaps one has to look matronly to get not asked?
and to raise family without the interference (apt desc?) of inlaws or innerlaws is today's luxury?
interference can be done 300 miles away.
upon a point in life when your plate is too full, you will be more than willing to trade some interference/nagging with safe childcare for your kids. never say never.
at some point in time bill's grandparents' plate was kinda full too and...they began to like having similar thoughts and those initial insular layers took shape - not too hard to imagine. and they were morally upright critic too i suppose. probably they had considered jd rockefeller and the rothchilds arrogant i think.
then their insulated grandson assumes that position. shrugs...
although i don't understand most part of the previous comment, but i'm grateful to say that most grandparents i met are not bitter type of person, and are genuinely happy to spend a few hours with their grandchildren, given a chance. :)
