Is it just me

Do any of you busy family life mums sometimes envy those that live a solo simple life. Sometimes I just picture some random who lives in a nice little one bed flat, they have their nice little job that they enjoy, just getting along living life. They go to work come home, get a take away put their feet up with a glass of wine or beer watch whatever they want sleep whenever they want uninterrupted. On weekends they can wake up whenever they want travel solo like just be!! I have 4 kids and a husband who I live very much grateful for my family but I do have moments where I fantasise about this solo simple life.🤣🤣

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. 🙂

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 😂
