[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your current perspective is highly influenced by a 1 and 3 year old. They are hard years!  It seems you can never finish a task before someone needs something from you. This s is temporary and it will slow down. That said, my DH and I are 69 and 70 and life is good. We are both active, travel when we want, and are able and willing to help with our new baby grandchild. My only suggestion is to focus on your young family and your relationship with your spouse. The rest really isn’t that important.[/quote]

The toddler years are really relentless - but, it’s true, you DO miss when they were young.  (I have three kids: 11, 9, and 2, and although the little one is exhausting and demanding, I know through my experience that I will yearn for those little hands and that little voice.)

Having little kids is very tough, OP, but I think whether or not someone is happy mostly comes down to temperament.  I am generally an upbeat, optimistic person so feel pretty happy.  I know a few people who are naturally more pessimistic and/or melancholic and - guess what? - that sets the tone for their outlook.[/quote]
