Bored to death by her children...

Not sure which drops my jaw further, the astounding self-centeredness, or the lengths she goes to justify it.

Best comment came from the place where I found the link:

I personally think there is a happy medium between over-doting on kids and being so detached from them that you canâ€™t bear to sit through a movie with them - in a theater - without text-messaging your friends. There must be a happy medium between insisting that you spend every second with your kids and insisting that your own life comes first. This lady does not live in the happy-medium place.

        "serious" mental problems would have been more accurate. - Tom Brosz - 8/2/2006 6:23:10 PM
