Core competencies

Life outside the confines of employment has been utter bliss! Spending each and every minute doing exactly what I want. Sleeping when I want. Seeing who I want, when I want. Working out.

But here’s where I need YOUR help: I think there’s a socialization piece that may be getting lost. What do you think?:

I just received an invitation from a friend who has her PhD in education. She is putting together an event that costs $15/person to:

Come to dance and PLAY together…giving adults the opportunity to rediscover the joy of play alongside their children as well as meet other like-minded families….inside developmentally appropriate ways of playing and engaging to support critical thinking for children ages two through eight years-old.

The evite responses were private, so I failed to exercise developmentally appropriate restraint and fired off my “no” RSVP:

Pay to play? What is this world coming to!

Hey, but maybe it’s not unemployment. I think I just didn’t play well enough as a child.

  1. Truthfully, I WOULD pay to glean wisdom from someone else on education and my daughter.

    Be careful about criticizing those in the parenthood…

    you may very likely end up there yourself someday!

    🙂

  2. Did I criticize a parent? Forgive me for that too! See, poor socialization…time for me to start to learn to take scolding.
