Do you think you can have it all?

Or do you think that’s unrealistic ?

Yes as long as you have support.

I now have everything I ever dreamed of and aspired to, if that's what you mean?

I have fewer than half of the things on the list that was shared upthread. But I'm mostly ok with it. I'd like to have extended family but most of them are dead so there's nothing to be done about that. I'd like a great career but am not clever enough (or possibly undiagnosed ADHD has got in the way). I don't have a social life but I'm ok with that as I prefer to be on my own.

But I have a lovely husband and two great kids, a lovely dog and a very nice home. I'm in pretty good health and I love keeping fit. I'm content with that and 'count my blessings' on a regular basis.

I have it all. A good DH who does his fair share, an amazing career that is flexible, children etc.

That's nice. And I don't mean it at all sarcastically. It's good to hear about happy working women.

I have some of the things mentioned here, but not all.

I think it also depends on the age of your dc.

When they are little, they take up so much of your energy and time, so 'amazing social life' is going to be tricky, but once they are older, and once they become adults themselves, then having all the things on your list becomes much, much easier.
