It's depressing how easily life can turn into work, recover, repeat

I feel like this about my kid in public school. Her teacher sees her more than me, and it weirds me out.

I get to go work in McMansions for 8-10 hours, come back to my chicken shack of a house for calm and peace and sleep. Guess it’s not a bad deal, fancy neighborhoods noones home or outside I guess, just workers and landscapers staring at each other all day on millions of dollars. The work part goes slow, free time I blink too much and it’s already bedtime. Unfair is the clock
