Ya know what sweety, I'm going through the same things....I'll go out on a saturday night with my single frineds...(I'm married) and when i got home and looked at my 3 year old who missed me all day and wanted me to read him a story - I was like, i'm too old for this ****....I love this kid, and all he did all day was miss me, and I was gone becasue I felt like i'm too young and needed to live up my life. What I didn't realize, is that this is the grown up world ya know, my husband, my boys, my family & house. These are the things you pray for when your single at those bars! Don't ever feel like your missing out - we have the kind of lives people strive for, be proud of that! Good luck sweety.

I'm married and have two teens. There are some days when I wonder what it would be like to have no responsibilities, no kids,no husband. How wonderful it would be to come home and have to place exactly the way you left it earlier. The house would be always clean, there wouldn't be anyone with an attitude, I could come and go as I please, I could spend my money on myself with no regrets. But after picturing this and how wonderful it would be, it suddenly becomes clear that it would be quiet and pretty lonely coming home. All of a sudden the daily chaos, the attitude, the mess, the quarrels, just doesn't seem to be all that bad. I wouldn't trade this life for anything in the world.

I never feel that way. I'm so happy with my life the way it is. I have a wonderful daughter and man in my life who supportive of me in all I do. I recently decided to go back to college (I'm 35) and they are all for it. I have realized by watching all these college "kids" that I'm more mature and it is easier to keep my grades up because I'm not out partying all night and dating and all that. I truly appreciate my life and my family and I'm happy with the choices I've made. Some may not have been so good at the time, but every choice I've made had molded me into the woman I've become, strong and loving and kind.

i am married with a child and I'm 27. Sometimes I miss the ability to do what I want and go where I want but ultimatley, all my single friends go out and get drunk in search of what I already have. I am married to the greatest most perfect man for me in the world, and he's hot too! We are lucky girls indeed, and we just need to remind ourselves that when we are hung over and having to make a little person breakfast!

Is it not responsibilities that make part of who we are? I think an adult is a person who does what they have too, not just what they can do. Imagine if you lived your entire life care free? I would probably get bored and top myself... Do you not find it amusing to look at the school kids whinghing about a few chores their parents have given them, and thinking how much you have grown from when you were that age?

Very good, thought provoking question. I've read all replies. Trojan's was the last one when i read, and i thought how true - my life was like that, but now my kids are grown and all i have is a little doggie at home and my husband. Sometimes i get down in the dumps - today i was - and a bit tearful cos i am menopausal and its horrible, but we must all be grateful for all our blessings mustnt we. Thanks for putting the question up - its good to read everyones replies.

i trust stimulated to do 3 issues after Obama's speech: a million) turn off the television; 2) Vomit; 3) flow to Costa Rica (the position I properly offered sources years in the past) After Bush's speeches - properly, throughout the time of them easily - I oftentimes felt stimulated to take a snooze.

I read somewhere that true happiness is only for those who live for conscience and duty. When you are honoring your commitments, you aren't missing out on a thing. But remember that when you perfom your duties as wife and mother out of love, you are honoring yourself--regardless of whether they show gratitude or not. That is my sermon for the day, for what it's worth.

sometimes I do, but I agree with you, if you appriciate what you have and enjoy your life more you will be happier and you know that you are a good example for most people. Keep up the good work, take care Heather
