[quote=Anonymous]OP - I agree with you about this area being highly competitive and crazy at times, but that doesn't mean you have to participate.  We made an agreement to only let the kids do 1 activity at a time and they got to pick.  It was hard because they wanted soccer and karate and music, etc. but when they picked one, it really simplified our lives.  We went from running them around from activity to activity to actually enjoying our lives on the weekends.

Our kids are a little older now so it's much better.  You should try and make the most of what you have and enjoy life now!  Can your husband easily relocate and keep his same salary? If not, maybe he's worried about not being able to provide for you and the kids.  I bet a lot of people are very envious of your lifestyle so stop trying to compete and enjoy the fact that you have a nice life and don't try to compete with everyone - there will always be people who have more, are more athletic, etc - you have to enjoy your own successes!

If you grew up in a dysfunctional home without money, could it be your having some guilt about where you are in life now?  Perhaps your other family members are jealous (maybe not outwardly) and you feel you don't deserve this lifestyle.  Perhaps talking to a therapist or taking some meds for depression may help you feel better and enjoy your life at this moment and not longing for something that may be hard to change. Good luck to you![/quote]
