[quote=Anonymous]OP my friend has 3 boys and she feels the same about her boys, too. She is really jealous of me because I have a daughter and we get to do girly stuff. Except she’s a tremendously difficult child, but of course my friend doesn’t see that, she just is thinking the grass is greener. Her kids, meanwhile, are not nearly as difficult. But she refuses to see that.

I agree with the PP that you’re wallowing a bit. With two little kids we cannot afford to travel much, and it is hard and difficult when we do. I haven’t been abroad in years, and dream of a full night of sleep, time for hobbies, and time with my girlfriends. Your life sounds pretty great to me, and you have a ton of freedom I wish I had. Between WFH and constantly watching my kids when I am not working I sometimes go almost a week without getting out in the world beyond the school run.

The grass will always be greener, no matter what. Get a therapist and work on your mindset of embracing the life you have, not mourning the life you wanted. [/quote]
