[quote=Anonymous]I definitely feel like pandemic parenting of small children has been a big hit to my happiness in my 40s. BTDT with taking care of elderly parents, but things are better now that that's over. It seems like lots of people are partially unhappy due to marital issues. I don't have that problem, since I'm a single parent by choice and never married. In a way, I'm happier in my 40s, because no one expects me to date or find a partner or marry. I was really depressed for about 20 years (late teens to late 30s) over not finding anyone who I thought would be a good life partner (and who felt the same about me). But now? I got the kids I wanted (which was the only reason I wanted to get married anyway), and most of my married friends just complain about their spouses nonstop, or are divorced, or getting divorced, etc. They think I'm the lucky one to not have some whining man-baby to deal with. I agree-- it's actually kind of great![/quote]
