I try and have weekends away every so often just the two of us,
Bad news as well, I have a 16 year old and I thought great thats one done, but he keeps saying he will never leave he is gonna stay with us for years......(I don't think you ever get them off your hands again they will always have a key to your house)

I, too, gave up doctorate school for my now husband. He never would've moved there, so I chose him and having a family over my education. I love my daughter and nothing I ever could've done would be even comparable to having her. But sometimes I wonder "what if?" I recently found out my sister is pregnant, not married to the father, somewhat "free" in that sense. I find myself being jealous of her because she can have her baby, it will have a father in it's life, but she can still date after the baby, she can still find the right person. I wanted a baby, so I got married and did things "the right way". What I do when I get into that frame of mind is think about what I wouldn't have that I love having now. Would I really, truly have been happier if I'd chosen another path? I'm not convinced that I would be. Hope that helps

I do at times but I love my life with the mortgage and kids, but there are times when for example a track comes on the radio and it reminds me of dancing my *** off in Ibiza or running down the strip in benidorm in a thong and I think ah good times, I do not regret the way my life has gone because i can say i done all I wanted before i settled down, fr me the missus, house, and kids were the next step. Enjoy your memories your kids will be doing exactley the same things in a few years time.

Its not a bad thing to reminisce about when life was alot simpler--like before the kids and the huge bills --I think everyone thinks back to the day every now and again--So what I do now is look forward to the day that will have the house paid off the kids grown and gone and the life that will be more at ease

Oh Honey, I am so glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. I feel bad that I do think this since I am blessed with a loving husband and 2 healthy kids. But boy do I miss my days and nights, that I had with no responsiblities but for me. Now its up in the morning, off to school, me off to my medical office, back to school, get the kids, off to tutoring or sports or doctors, or dentists, home, dinner time, bath time, homework, studing, to bed and then maybe if I'm not completly wore out a few minutes for my self.
Girl, I so feel you.

well, i don't know how it feels, but as a 14 year old I have 3 grand in my bank account from doing my own work. Some website were they give you free money, mowing the lawn, shoveling the snow, and other yard work. Also refereeing in my local soccer league. I wonder how your life is though. I know that sometimes my mom feels that way.

Hey,
By starting young, you will be free again while you are young! I'm 42 and in two more years I will be on my own again! I love my girls, but it is nice having some time alone. When your kids are a little older, they will want to spend more time away from you and you will have more time to have with your friends and to relax.

i'm a guy. i'm 22 & i'm jealous.
i have a mortgage but no kids yet. i don't even have a serious thing going. i'm still at that 'irresponsible' stage and i'm sick to death of it. i want to see my kids, i want my parents to see their grandkids while they've still got all their teeth, heck, i want to see _my_ grand kids, and to know what my offspring will be like as adults before i get senile and have to be looked after.
all i have to say is enjoy your life, as you obviously are and don't reminisce too much. i'd say look ahead too, there are some beautiful memories coming up just ahead of you x *sigh*

Oh yes, bring it all back. Can't remember when I last went to a pub with no kids..... Um.. last years Christmas Do, but wanted to come back soberish cos I had to get a taxi on my own. Doing things on your own, No bills,no dirty nappies. Spend your money on yourself.Yes, it's all drifting back. Those were the day's.

Keep your memories sweetheart & treasure them well.
When you were free & life was simple I bet you never appreciated what you had, because you never knew what you couldn't have. In the same way if you were to lose what you have now, you would sit & look back longingly to the days such as these & treasure those memories too.
That's life. Be happy.
