To occasionally fantasise about life with no children

[Whereland]

I love my children and wouldn't have it any other way. But every now and then I indulge in a little "what would I be doing right now if I had no children" daydream. I was up this morning at 5.45 in the pitch black with 2 y/o, the other two followed not long after. I can't help thinking how much I'd love to still be asleep in bed and planning a chilled day of doing whatever I want. Alas, soft play it is.

Whilst I would kill and die for my dc I totally understand where you are coming from.
But I must be in the minority though because whilst my two are 18 and 15 and independent I absolutely long to go back to when they were little. I literally mourn those days. They grow up too quickly.

Yeah I always convince myself I'd go to bali and travel and yoga and scuba dive for 3 months but likelihood is I'd spend it scrolling my phone and working too much and watching tv like I did when I was single 😂

Same @Handcreamqueen i sometimes wish I could go back and get rid of my ex sooner and redo mine’s childhood. He took up all my emotional energy. You just don’t know how fast it goes. I would make it really special

I'll let her know that you think so and see if she'll change her ways 😂 not ill, generally sleeps 7.30pm to 6.30am but this morning was earlier 🤷‍♀️
