[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re exactly this type of couple, OP. Two former athletes and high achievers who met at Harvard Business School. Attractive and have done very well professionally. (Well enough that I don’t even think about our income anymore, just our net worth. We’re mid 30s and worth several million.)

What I can tell you is that we’re all just born this way/different. DH and I are high energy and super disciplined. It’s just naturally who we are. We have plenty of Type B (or less Type A friends) and I am often annoyed and fascinated by them. What do you mean it’s the Tuesday before thanksgiving and you haven’t planned out your oven schedule yet?! Get. It. Together! Oh wow, you took that disappointment so well - wish I were as cool as a cucumber like you.

So know that these people are not superior to you. And they’re not inferior to you either. Just simply different. [/quote]

Op here. That’s so interesting. What drives you? What were you like a child? How were you raised?

I don’t have the drive and discipline but want all the things they have. I want a nice body. I want a nice house. I want to be well planned and organized.I want to be disciplined and pass on these traits and habits to my children.

What can I do since I’m not naturally like this? [/quote]

Learn to accept who you are, and how that affects you, and learn to like yourself, so that your children will like and accept themselves, too. Simple, but true.

The animosity on this board, and the judgments, come from people who ere never happy in their own skin - they wanted to effortlessly be someone else, but that obviously ain't happening. [/quote]
