[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I have three kids but I had them in my late 30's so I had a nice long time of living the child-free life. I do envy you in a way. My life has changed significantly. Although I did work a lot of hours before I had kids, I also could go out to eat or on a hike at the spur of the moment. I miss that and I miss quiet weekends. I always wanted to have a family and I'm glad I do - but it is a different lifestyle. It is often exhausting, esp. in the early years. Also, it is expensive. Instead of two plane tickets, we have to get 5 plane tickets. The cost of kid activities is super spendy too. My sister and her husband are child free and they go to lots of social activities and lots of concerts and shows and vacations. I envy them but I think they envy us sometimes. They are missing out on being a mom and dad and doing fun family things. It is a trade off.[/quote]
