Kids at school, husband’s a nice guy and has afairly good job. No mortgage (he inherited a big house in posh area) I have 2 single friends who have a great time clubbing etc. and I want that, not boring mum.

This is a joke post - probably because of the fathers who often leave their families thinking the same

Go on then…. See how it ends

Get one of those love charms from Enchanter Wilson mentioned upthread. It'll fix you right up and you'll stop having fantasies about abandoning your kids. 🔮🙌

I miss when these guys put some effort into it.

Maybe she's Scottish and bored because the kids are already back here 😂

Maybe she'll get the wrong enchantment and find herself married to a frog.

Mark my words - those two single friends will be gagging to settle down and meet someone and to have what you have.

I think we all get like that from time to time. You can still go out but j agree you won’t be as free as your single friends. You are obviously feee to do as you wish but you might come to regrets it when you are 45 and the oldest swinger in town with no family whose kids want nothing to do with you.

You sound like a dick. An ungrateful dick.

Marriage and parenthood, dont prevent you clubbing or having whatever hobby you fancy.

But to be like I want to leave my kids so I can be with my single kids sounds awful
