[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love my children, love my husband, but actually, lately I'm a bit envious of my single friends who are living their dreams, traveling to cool places, training for marathons, taking weekend trips at a moment's notice, etc.  I say that as I am still recovering from an overly busy, child-centric weekend that involved Little League, dance recital, swim lessons, birthday party, etc...[/quote]

Your single friends with jobs aren't doing most of these things.  How much time do you think we get off from work every year?  As a single person, I work, try to stay professionally relevant by taking courses once in a while, maintaining my condo w/o help (how am I going to get that couch from one side of the room to another), trying to eat healthy, etc.  Single people don't spend every weekend having "girls nights".

NP here.  Most of mine are.  Then again I bet I lead a much more active life than you even with a kid.  Why do you spend so much time doing boring crap that you don't find time for the fun?  There isn't one thing that you listed that should prevent a weekend away at least a couple times a month.  I bet you don't exercise, which is why you think that thinking about eating healthy precludes training for a marathon.  And, you get the couch from one side of the room to the other not by staring at it but by inviting a bunch of friends over for a drink and then asking for a hand.  [/quote]

I don't know, why don't YOU spend time doing fun stuff?  Yes you have responsibilities, and so do I.  I didn't say that life was never fun, but it's not fun all the time, especially not for the majority of weekends out of the month.[/quote]
