fuzzy Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 It all seems such a long time ago, but yes the sleep and not being able to do anything without preparing like it was a military opperation and constantly carrying a bag of stuff. Not getting lie ins and not going out together very often. Thankfully i am coming out the other end of it now, and am amazed that i can just say i'm going out for a beer and i have time to myself, it is just what do i do with it?? I was only mad enough to have the one though and he does keep telling me to behave and not forget when i tell him off that it will be him that puts me in a home. Horrible child i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosywolf Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm completely put off now .. I don't think I could ever give up alot of the things mentioned here.. does that make me a bad person?! I need so much peaceful chill out time to cope with normal everyday life I can't imagine not having that space and having WAY more to deal with into the bargain! Just the lack of sleep would kill me... I need 8 hours or else I can't function! No it doesn't make you a bad person, lol. It makes you normal. Best to know about it all beforehand though, and even then it's a HUGE shock when it actually happens. I knew what to expect intellectually, and had plenty of experience with children, but I found it really hard. Still, they're so worth it, you find that as much as you miss those things, you wouldn't trade having your child for any amount of sleep, spontaneity, and 'normal' tv. (Most of the time)...

Trust me, the first time you hold your firstborn in your hands, nothing else will matter, that changed me as a person, so completely, there isn't anything i would not do for my 2, they are my life, and when you have a child you will understand in an instant!!!

ksheff2 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I guess the only thing I REALLY miss is, (apart from my figure) is my independence. I really miss going to work and earning my own money. I also miss the pride I used to have in myself. Hair and make-up was always immaculate. I know theres nothing stopping me now, but, I just sometimes think, "Bleeeeaaaarrrgghh whats the point???!!!"

Gemima Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I miss my "me time". I also miss going out together, we dont do that anymore we take it in turns to go out with friends. I wouldnt change it though I love my son so much and my life would be empty without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
