Am I expecting to much?

[ThatFairTealDuck]

I am at a loss with no clue what to do, I've just had my birthday and it has just highlighted that I don't feel complete on my life. I should, I have two wonderful preschool aged children, I own my own home (morgaged) have been in a loving relationship for 15 years, work part time and yet I feel miserable.

I feel like I'm missing something but I don't know what it is, and I'm frightened that by picking something like moving abroad or around the country it would be depremental to my children's futures but our quality of life just doesn't seem great (or at least to me)... what makes it worse is DP is happy to go along with whatever makes me happy! But I just don't know what it is, is this feeling normal? does anyone have any ideas on what I could change?

The reality is a lot of life with young children is quite mundane and relentless. Social media will have you think otherwise! What do you think is missing and why do you think moving will solve that?

Happiness is not something you can target and achieve, it's a by product of being happy with your lot in life.

The alternative is to be restless for change.

It's really up to you to decide which one to be.

Thank you both for your messages! I must admit other than mumsnet I use no form of social media so I don't nessesarily have anything to compare it to (thankfully) but I think you might be right maybe I am restless for a change!
