But occasional babysitting was nothing like becoming their full-time caregiver.
I was thirty-four and had worked nearly seven years at a dental practice near Columbus, Ohio.
Three days earlier, Dr. Bennett had offered me the office manager position.
It was a promotion I’d pursued for years.
Yet my future husband apparently believed my career was irrelevant.
“What about her job?” Heather asked.
“She’s leaving the dental office.”
I gripped my dress more tightly.
“She told you that?”
“We’ve talked about it.”
We absolutely hadn’t.
Seth and I had discussed buying a home, eventually having children without rushing, vacations, retirement savings, and replacing his aging truck.
Never once had we discussed me abandoning my career to raise his sister’s children.
Heather sighed.
“I just don’t want Natalie to feel like I’m taking advantage of her.”
“She won’t.”
“Because I know how much she likes her job.”
