My parents are divorced, but my Dad still works for my Mom. I’m worried what will happen when she retires.

My parents divorced years ago, and as far as I know neither of them has ever dated again. <br><br>My dad works in my mom’s office.<br><br>I’m not sure what Dad does exactly, but I’ve heard him mention that he volunteers his time. Apparently he’s done it for as long as I can remember. <br><br>My mom seems to have a lot of faith in him, even though she usually seems annoyed to see him. <br><br>She always makes sure Dad has his own desk to use, so he can work in comfort. <br><br>Dad doesn’t have a computer. He usually writes on a whiteboard with a marker. He has a rocking chair at his desk and takes breaks by looking out the window. Or taking a nap. <br><br>She makes sure Dad gets his breaks and that he eats. He gets upset if he doesn’t get his lunch at the same time every day. <br><br>I think she’s happy he’s occupied and usually quiets on the days he works. <br><br>I’ve never been in Mom’s office before. I’m not allowed. But I have a feeling Dad spends most of his time looking at himself in a mirror.<br><br>My friend Tommy’s dad works in the same office. I’ve heard him mention that my mom seems nice, but his dad gets on his nerves.<br><br>I’ve always wondered what he means. <br><br>I wonder if it will be me working in Mom’s office when she retires.<br><br>I’m okay with that.
