Is anyone leading the life they had envisaged?

[mommie]

I suppose I just wondered how many people had really got the life they had intended?

Er, er, you mean you're not and you don't, hunker??

You've just totally ruined my image of you...

Sorry, Snafu. Will try harder. Will never manage willowy though!

Nope - never would have believed I'd be posting on a parenting site.....

i never had any expectations, i think i unconsciously believed i wouldn't live past 25! Nearly 30 now... never wanted to have children. Single mum, living life of poverty, but generally i am very, very happy, but I am starting to think now that i need to plans plans & have ambitions, which i never had before...

Not quite living the life I expected at 34! I expected to be married, have 2 kids, have enough money just to get by and be very very happy............!

Reality check - Am engaged but not married to the man I love (still optimistic that it might be in the next year though), have 3 stepchildren but no kids of my own....... Yet! Struggle to buy even a magazine a month let alone anything else due to cost of CSA payments for said stepkids...... However, when the above 3 points change, I should be very very very happy!
