[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to rain on the misery parade,  nut my kids are now older and I love being their mom. I loved when they were little and when the "consumed" me. I'm actually not even sure what you all mean. Kids are a lot of work. That wasn't a secret when you gpt pregnant. I also married a real man and both of us always carved out time alone,  time togethet, and time as a family.  I don't have hobbies like playing the violin, widdling wood, or scuba diving, but Ive always worked out. That's not a hobby, just basic maintenance.

Don't worry ladies, one day you will be able to let go of all that pent up resentment motherhood has caused you. Your kids will grow up and hardly visit. Maybe if your dream comes true, your all consuming marriage will end.[/quote]

+1 My DH and I both worked but outside of work our 3 kids were the center of our world and I have no regrets. Other than my DH playing tennis during the summer from 7:30-9:30 (kids were still in PJ's) we didn't have time for hobbies or girls night out or poker night. But neither of us cared about that stuff and we really had a good time being together. DH and I always found time for each other. Raising children to become good young adults is hard work and given how many screwed up adults there are its clear many parents failed. Both my DH and I benefited from having very loving parents who set good examples. Our children are now successful young adults with their own families and I hope they see us as good examples. Since we became empty nesters about 12 years ago we are doing all the things we didn't do when we were raising our children. And now we really find time for each other![/quote]

You people are insane.  Even my Mormon friends who homeschool six kids have hobbies, go to relief society meetings, go to book club once a month, and host parties and showers.  
You had hobbies when your kids were growing up.  You just want to hate on the OP.[/quote]
