Donna’s gone back to school. I know she won’t tell herself, but my wife has finally decided to pursue her master’s degree, and she’s been accepted into a program in Organizational Psychology. I’ve always been a workaholic (Thanks, Dad), and she’s warned me that now while she’s in school I need to spend a ton more time being the primary parent with Claire, our 2 1/2 year old. I’ve wholeheartedly agreed since I’ve had my Masters for almost a decade now and think everyone should continue their schooling. Now that she’s begun to work on classes (and school doesn’t even officially begin until March) I see the differences by what she means by primary parent and what I mean by that. She pretty much wants me to do a ton, and as Claire moves toward her third birthday in April she’s not getting any less two-ish. We decided that she may just be totally bored because she’s so damn smart. These gifted kids are bored at school and home because people do not challenge them, and we already know she’s gifted. (That’s got nothing to do with my 100+ post-grad credits in Gifted Education either!). So I am damn proud of my wife getting into grad school, and I now have to juggle being a workaholic with two jobs, a human being, and the father (primary parent) of a very precocious little girl.
