” Parents would cry ….what …their children are doing “
I’ll tell you something my kid is NOT doing. He is not eating. At least, he is not eating a normal healthful diet.
And not because there is no food to be had.
He is not eating properly, because after a 10-12 hour day, he simply has no strenght or motivation to start shopping and cooking. So he lives from Shabbos to Shabbos, when he gets invited out, or on takeout food.
I sort of know what he’s going thru, because that’s how I live mid-week in July and Aug, when Mrs is Upstate. If I’m lucky, there are leftovers to take back to the City, so the cooking and takeout venue is kept to a minimum.
But to live like this for 1/2 a year?
Oiy Vey 🙁
