To ask what you miss most about pre-baby life?

[missb00]

Just that really. We are thinking about starting a family but want to know what you miss most about pre-parenthood??

[SmileEachDay]

Sleep

[ShuttyTown]

Watching a film the whole way through without having to pause it eleventy billion times

[Paddybare]

The ability to be spontaneous- 'let's go out for dinner tonight' / 'let's have a weekend away'

You really don't realise how much you take that for granted pre-kids.

[insideoutoutsidein]

Doing whatever I want, whenever I want.
Leaving the house as soon as I'm ready not having to worry about whether DD is going to get into the car seat without a fuss.
Saying that, she has made our lives a hundred times better though, so wouldn't change it.

[Bellatrixandstrange]

Sleep, having something to talk about that isn't DC, holidays, freedom, my pain free body, time, a clean house...the list goes on. Why?

[glitterglitters]

Sleep

[Biffsboys]

Being able to go out at the drop of a hat .

[SvartePetter]

My own time

[Mysterycat23]

Sleep

Spontaneity
Quiet time
Sleep
Nights out

[anotherBadAvatar]

Spontaneity.

Expensive holidays.

Trips to restaurants/theatres/cinema whenever I wanted.

Leaving the house with a tiny bag.

Nice things in the house with no sticky handprints.

More disposable income (£800/month nursery fees!)

Lie ins and late nights.

Only having to think of myself (and DH) selfishly.

Pre-baby figure. (Can't believe I ever thought I was fat before)

So much less stress.


And yet... how your heart grows

[Bellaposy]

Lying in. Eating out. Spontaneous sex.

[Jemimapuddleduk]

Have a lie in and breakfast in bed. Day time sex.

[elliejjtiny]

Sleep, being able to leave the house spontaneously, a relatively tidy house.

[lifesjoys]

My freedom!

[Hedgeh0g]

Sleep.

[silkybear]

Getting home from work to flop on the sofa with a cuppa and the tv on, winding down. Now its excited toddler wants attention then dinner bath bed routine, 8pm before i sit down then bed for me at 9 as im pregnant and tired constantly. I relish her smiley face greeting me though!

[stargirl1701]

Sleep.

[Dizzywizz]

Sleep, having a lie in. Getting wasted and knowing you can have the next day to recover.

[Want2bSupermum]

Sleep, quiet time, getting laundry done over 3 loads a week, having nice clothes and keeping our home tidy with minimal effort.

[Comealongpond89]

Lie ins

[jollyjester]

Spontaneous outings.

We've just had to book our babysitters for 9th December for a Christmas party.

Being able to go out for dinner and the cinema midweek.

Lie ins. Although neither of mine surface before 7 so I'm not too bad.

[GuinessPunch]

Not having to rush with everything..
Eating/toilet/getting ready/showered

Oh and sleep.

[andpropersteel]

Sleep.

Having a poo alone.
