My parents are both in their late 70’s and my father recently was diagnosed with diabetes.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). He loved it, although his mother asked him at the rehearsal dinner if he shouldn’t go get a haircut! ? Not at all.

My own kids were born in different time zones, too – one in MN, one in OH. I’m a long-distance cyclist, a triathlete, a wife, a mother of two, a sister, a daughter, a friend, DIY-er, and a community member! And barring one job I had as a young mother, I never have.
