This is entirely uncharitable of me

My mother is more excited about my sister's new baby (Clara Rose, born just before midnight last night) than about me getting a doctoral degree.

To be fair, she is also more excited about my sister's new baby than my sister's college degree or any of her achievements in theater.

Not that that makes it a whole lot better, really. It just makes it less about me and more about my mom only valuing baby baby baby.

Ah, but you do get points! Not from folks like us, certainly. But the status quo rewards board. They hand out points for shit like that constantly. That's part of the problem.
