I’ve got a good few years of full-time parenting left and that’s the biggest priority. But my kids seem pretty happy and secure, they’re confident and curious at school and I’m managing not to project too many of my insecurities onto them. But I do dream of the day they’re gone (and then back and gone again, no doubt). I’ve been loving studying Ancient Rome. At the very least I’d like more time just to tear through the growing shelves of books I’ve bought aspirationally. Maybe I’d try to do a D.Phil one day but I suspect that would be stressful and pure vanity. Ultimately I just want to eliminate stress. I think I still have a couple of startups left in me after this one but I’d love to pursue them as projects in my own time, the primary aim being my own curiosity not other people’s demands.
