To think my life is slipping away?

[surfxngtheginternet]

I have 3 DC, a great job and an overall brilliant life. I'm very lucky. However...a lot of the time I just feel empty. I seem to do the same thing day in, day out, and I don't really see it changing until I retire.
I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I was considering taking an OU course but I don't know if there's much of a point because I can't really see myself changing career and I don't even know how I'd go about doing distance learning.
Is anyone else in the same position? I feel so ungrateful

You're bored. You need a holiday. An ou course will be bloody hard work and is there much point putting stress on yourself if it's not necessary? Maybe a hobby if you've got time?

Yes. Me.

I have been stuck in the single parent crap job no money SEN kids mode for far too long. Now the kids are older i am starting to carve out a life for myself. It is really hard as the years have eroded my confidence but small steps, and i am making progress.

I like laughing again.😆

Hmmm I think I’d feel this way if I didn’t have things for me - I make sure I exercise and do crafts. I have a beautiful life - nice enough house, 2 kids, loving husband. Debating DC3, and if we don’t go for it I think i’ll need to get some sort of job but that makes me feel very empty indeed as I have no idea what I want to do, and if I’m working the housework and child rearing will definitely become more stressful/drudgery.

I feel like this most times. I know I am very fortunate, I have a good well paying job, a lovely DD, a supporting partner and a nice house. I don’t really need to stress over money and enjoy a holiday every year. I have a beautiful extended family who help me with childcare. I also have great friends and colleagues. But I can’t shake the feeling that something is missing in my life and I don’t know what it is. I wouldn’t describe myself as a happy person and at times I feel incredibly ungrateful
