Things you miss after having kids..?

[Veronika13]

I've hit a wall today. Almost of year of trying to conceive and got another negative today. Have really struggled to function and I need to do something about it.
We are being referred to an IVF specialist but I can't continue to get so down, like I'm grieving.

I think it would help to focus on the good things to enjoy, before kids eventually happen (I'm positive about this). My life is good overall but atm I don't have joy.

Please tell me amazing things you did pre kids that you cannot do now that kids are here? My plan is to focus on these things and to savour the moments.

Being a grown up sucks

Another thing- really think about what you'd like to do with your life. Imo those things never go away. Did you want to be creative, paint or write some more? Did you want to take a short course or do something for free? Make a list of all the things you've ever wanted to do and start some of those now. Will be harder post children but you'll still wish you'd done it.

A great exercise routine and be the fittest you've ever been, will make it easier later.

Ooh and if you own a property, doing anything you want to that. Or sorting out where you live.

Thank you, I'm actually studying for a niche qualification to further progress my career, I appreciate it more now that I can do studying in the evenings. Last weekend I spent the whole Sunday on an assignment, and still found time to go for a walk in the evening once it was done.

I'll be less whiny now about the exams whilst juggling full time work - it's a great opportunity to do this now, will advance my career, and I won't get the chance to do it once I become a mum

+1 for indulging a train of thought or tangent!!!! And another plus one for lying in bed with a choccy bar at random times in the day…
