Describe the ‘perfect life’

[surferjet]

for me it would be married. lovely supportive husband who earns lots of money so I can stay at home with our 6 children ( 4 boys 2 girls ) living in a nice big house in a trendy London suburb.

Oh and wine was the elixir of life

Good health for my DH. It's a cliche but I didn't realise how all-important it was until it was gone.

I saw a job advertised recently, someone wanted to work at an cat rescue sanctuary on a Greek island. Job description was to feed, care and play with the animals.
That would be my perfect life, unfortunately dh and 6 dc said I can't apply.

I'd agree with keepingbees. From the outside my life looks good. But I'd really like the daily (invisible to others) diarohea gone, just good digestion would mean the world to me.

And a loving family who stayed in touch, no history of abuse etc And I would make friends with females easily. And I'd have the confidence and focus to do a stimulating creative job.

Multiple businesses that run themselves, that I just review the accounts occasionally. But that provide me with a new company car regularly.

Self control to lose a bit of weight.

Multiple houses, and city flats, all over the world so we can just fly to the US or Malta/wherever, for all holidays.

Not much else. Guess I'm pretty lucky, because what I have isn't that bad.

Not fussed about a lot of money but just to have my kids happy myself and my husband very happy. And to have no stress in life no anxiety no worried thoughts

Pretty much what it is now except we’d both be in excellent health and ten years younger

Know the feeling schoolgatebeta

Enough money not to need to work again (wouldn't need much as I live on fuck all as it is) Small detached house in the country with enough land to provide food. Cheap car to nip around in. Remove my autism in addition and that's all I'd ask for really.

Oh and remove all my teeth and replace them with fixed dentures as they are driving me mad.

My dream life would be my current life without anxiety.

Enough money to live comfortably in a large house in a nice area (actually just up the road from where I live now in the village where ds goes to school would suit us perfectly), and not to have to work (either dh or I)

Everyone in the family healthy and happy.

Lots of nice holidays in different places.

It sucks that so much of it comes down to money.

I’d live by the sea with a a sea view from every window. Walk my dog on the beach every morning. Kids would go to the local school I’d be home to pick up and drop off. Ideally I’d be an online personal trainer so we could travel as much as possible. DH would be more open to travelling and happier in his job. Most importantly we would all be healthy and happy.

My husband would work a lot less but we would be financially very comfortable. We would finally finish doing up our house and make the garden lovely. We would travel lots and go out for nice meals. Everyone would be happy and healthy.

I think I would just keep my life as it is, but:-
• have an extra £10k a year to be able to go on holidays and not have to worry about extra bills (e.g. car breaking down).
• my mum get over my dad leaving and find someone else.
• my grandma come to terms with my grandad's death and find peace and happiness again.
• DP to do more than FA housework!

Aside from that I adore my life.
We're about to move from a 2 bed terrace with on-street parking and no garden which costs us £600 a month rent to a 3 bed detached with garage and garden which will be £400 a month mortgage. Much nicer area. Outstanding nursery at the end of the road. Way more room for DD to play. I'm working a job I enjoy, just about to start studying my masters and excited to see where it takes me, hopefully into social work or teaching. DP is on a good career path. I'm tutoring a teenage boy with additional needs, giving a rescue elderly cat a home and raising my gorgeous daughter. Super happy right now.

I was doing a task along the lines of this thread "describe your ideal, ideal day" which included a riding holiday in patagonia. I was unreasonably upset when dh mentioned that he'd never fancied going to South America
