Which is why, while my teen spends her day hanging around in Munich and doing stuff she wants to do, I am spending the 8 hours today going home and back to Munich on the train to spend 10 minutes in my house making sure my cats are hydrated and safe and that I still make it back to Munich for her birthday plans.
Yes, I have the fucking latitude to actually DO this, but I hate that however much I care for our cats, I am not trustworthy enough to not accidentally hurt them.
