[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made lots of bad decisions in my 40 years of life, but it's hard to say I regret any of them because otherwise I wouldn't have married who I married, and have the kids I have.

Bad decision: dating an idiot/asshole for years in high school and college…
Bad decision: not stretching myself and applying to more prestigious schools…
Bad decision: one-night stands in college…
Bad decision: sleeping with much older married men in positions of power…
Bad decision: marrying the person I married first who was not a good person or the right fit for me...
Bad decision: cheating on him, even having to have an abortion

After I got all of that out of my system by age 30, the last decade has been terrific.

It's funny, because I'm now facing a big life decision about whether or not to keep working and/or how much, and I'm letting my decision-making process by driven by the idea of future regret.  I worry if I leave my current job, I will regret it.  I worry that if I stay home or cut way back to spend more time with the kids, I will regret it.  I should probably just decide based on what i want my days to look like in the near future -- working a high-pressure job, earning money, working my brain….or being at home more, spending time with them.

Kind of epiphany I've had, just writing this.  DCUM is the best![/quote]

I don't know you but thank you xx [/quote]
