This is not a milestone you pass. The two year old's version goes, then a version comes back at twenty two, and again at fifty two, wearing whatever clothes that stage of life provides.
So think maintenance rather than course completion. When conditions change, a new baby, a new manager, an illness in the family, expect the old…
