[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have several friends who never married or had kids and they are amazing. I love my life, which includes loving and being loved by a man and some kids, but if I had to pick a different life, I'd pick the life of my friend who's a master sommelier and has a gorgeous waterfront condo with a whole wall of windows. Or wait, maybe the friend with the [i]incredible[/i] huge garden. Or maybe I'd want to be my friend who alternates months between NY and some foreign city. She lives in seven different cities a year! NY - Rio - NY - London - NY - Bangkok, and so on.

I don't have any married-with-kids friends who have that level of freedom and creativity to be themselves. The ability to drop everything, or to put their whole selves into something that interests them. And that's ok! We had different paths. I know my never married/ no kids friends sometimes wish things had gone differently. But they are living their lives and making it look good.

There are so many ways to be a whole person. Don't let any of these ax-grinders tell you what's right for you. [/quote]
