Moms who know better than you
Find a Conversation

Kind of joking there. But the other day I met a mom who was certain she knew which area schools were the best. I told her my children are happily in public school, but upon entering middle school and/or upon entering 8th grade, if any of mine wants, then we'll take a tour of all of the schools in the area ~ private, several Catholic. Not a Catholic, lol, she told me unequivocally that, yes, I needed to take my children on a tour of the local Catholic schools NOW because they are the best schools in the area. Because of course her kids went there. Her children graduated from high school long ago, but I never quite got my answer on what they were all doing now. 
Anyway, the "conversation" (monologue?) continued until my friend saw me cornered. Has this kind of thing happened to you ~ older mom telling you how to do it better? How do you handle moms with children older than yours who are a little too liberal and pushy with their advices? ....Have you ever been that mom?

Pretty.
I worded that wrong, I should have said any profit is a profit for them.
A full-time job and pursuing a second advanced degree are too time consuming when your sons are at a time in their lives when they need guidance about college. You of all people have invaluable expertise in that area, I think you could take off a year or two until they find the right college paths for themselves.
Oh. That's true.
Obviously your choice. I couldn't do it with children your sons' ages. Nor would I get an advanced degree for fun so late in life.
And it kind of debunks your whole theory that Morty was the one frivolous with her money.
