To wonder if this is it now?

No idea why I feel this way. Possibly lockdown. Possibly the responsibility of being a parent and the fact we don't have much money now coronavirus has kindly stopped us earning as much. But I feel meh about my life. I'm 32 and I'm starting to feel I look tireder now. I am not one of the younger women anymore. I'm not old either. But I'm just past the appeal stage I feel! I am happy in my relationship but I can't help feeling sad the fun, passion and excitement will never be as strong as it once was.

Sometimes I look back on days of going out, looking nice, texting lads and getting to know people. The days when you didn't know who you'd meet or love. All of a sudden I'm this tired early 30s mum of two who's life consists of chores, school runs and cooking.

I don't want to cheat. I am happy in a settled way but I just miss my younger self. I miss the random fun and the lack of responsibility.

Is it possible to love your family but miss your youth?

Definitely it is! I adore my 1 year old son and wouldn’t dream of being without him or my fiancé or the dog. I love my little family but by god I miss the person I was in my mid twenties. My life now consist of work, cleaning, cooking, trying to be super mom and that’s it
