[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so strange to me. I'm 38, two kids,  a decent job that pays the bills, and a good husband. I'm so much happier than when I was in High School! I'm also happier than whrn I was in college. You couldn't pay me to go back to high school.[/quote]

When I say I miss high school -- it's not that I miss (or even remember) the classes or the pep rallies or whatever. To me "high school" meant a consistent group of people to go from class to class with all day and then getting to come home at night to your nuclear family who was there for you. You have that to come home to now. I don't. I come home to an empty apartment and wonder if I really have to bother making dinner since it's just me and if my night will just consist of TV. You're just in a better spot in life so of course you don't miss the past.[/quote]

Let this be a cautionary tale of the sometimes  harsh realities of being a woman who puts off settling down in favor of a career that may or may not pan out. This works for men because they can alway marry a younger woman. For women we have a shorter window of opportunity. Men don't have an expiration date.

Yea, I know you all will be up in arms, but this is the way it sometimes ends up. For many people having a family,  though difficult and often limiting, it also is wonderful to come home each day to a family who you love and loves you. I wouldn't trade it for anything.[/quote]
