I was just thinking about this the past couple days! I love my family and wouldn't trade it for the world but there are definitely parts of a single life that sounds appealing. I have a friend who's married but has no kids. When I go visit I'm always amazed at how quiet and clean it is. I've stayed the night and it's the best sleep ever 😂
@Rachel this is so funny and soo true!!! Life is sooo different when u throw kids into the mix 🤣🤣
My husband and I discussed all the stuff we did before kids that we can't anymore without effort. We miss the simplicity and spontaneity sometimes, but love our kids so much.
Yess! Sleeping when I want to sounds soooo nice lol. But i also remember when all I wanted was my sweet babies and I was more or less bored with life even being able to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.
I sometimes see posts from my friends without children from all these exotic countries, random holidays, skiing, islands etc. and I wish I could travel as much but I cannot now with the kids, well I can but it will feel like work and not holiday 😀 but someone single in a one bed flat..to me that sounds lonely and empty..at least that’s how I felt when I lived alone. You are allowed to want some peace and quiet though.
I do miss that as well, but luckily, with my son, he sleeps with us at any time as well. He loves his nap and food 😂
I understand the feeling because it’s you missing your old life seeing as, what it was like before having kids. But now having them, things are different and probably wasn’t what you expected but, still want that freedom. 🙂
