[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 51 with teenagers and happy. Am I happy every second of the day? Hell no. But I have a good life with a lot of joy. My advice to someone with little kids is build your communities and maintain a life and an identity outside of your children. Do not have all your adult friendships and interests derive from your children. Everyone is tired and busy and tired and busy. Invest in adult relationships, including your marriage. That is what will ultimately make your life happy. [/quote] 52, and I agree. OP, remember that you are a person, first of all. Yes, you are a mother of young kids, but that’s a temporary stage in life, unlike a personhood. Have friends, have hobbies, have an identity separate from motherhood. What don’t you like about your older relatives’ lives?[/quote]
