Do you have more freedom in your life now, or when you lived at home???

[Spagblog]

You know, freedom to do what you like, go out with who you want, when you want etc.
I don't mean sexually...

um .. you do know you're on a parenting website don't you? talk of 'freedom' is pretty moot with ankle biters

Well, more.
But then I lived in a small Highland village where there was sod all to do anyway.
Every time I take the train to London to meet a Mner for dinner () then swan back a bit pissed, I get a frisson. I used to dream of things like that.
I know you don't mean that, though. I have a lot of freedom but probably use it rarely, iyswim.

LOL maybe I'd forgotten what it was like pre children. I just wonder whether everyone else is having a better life sometimes.

Less freedom now. When I lived at home I told my parents where I was going and when I'd be back, not because they insisted but because I thought it was only reasonable. Now I still do that, but can only go out for 3 hours at a time because I'm breastfeeding. So feel REALLY stuck now! I feel a bit like you do spagblog, and wish I didn't have all the responsibility when I see my single friends swanning about without a care in the world. Heyho, no turning back now I'm looking forward to when I'm not the only one who can feed my LO. Or am I kidding myself????

Not really!

more now. While I have to consider my children in my decisions they are still my decisions.

Self imposed cerfews are more acceptable than those decided by others on my behalf.
