I think the "having time for yourself" and the "relaxing weekend" options are similiar. I'd love to be able to schedule a hair appointment/pedicure more often...I'm going more and more grey by the minute - HA! The baby is worth it though. :)

Vero you should have an option all of the above. That's what I pick.

I miss having a relaxing weekend. Before I had my daughter I was still living alone and it was nice to be able to go home to a quiet house.

At the begining I missed relaxing weekend now I miss a worry-free life! (...and sometimes all of the above, thank Michelle for pointing that out)

I definatly agree with Michelle. Most of all though, I miss having time alone with just me and my husband.

having kids you don't even have time to have a headache!

There are days when I miss everything on that list but I think the adjustment has been harder on my husband than myself.

I have two step kids that come over every other week. Week on week off sorta thing, and it was nice. The weeks that we didn't have my step kids, my husband and I could go to a nice restaurant, go away on the weekend, go to a movie in the evening...basically date each other. Then on the weeks that we had them it was family time. It was a very nice balance to be able to go back and forth like that. But now with us having a little one of our own full time...well we don't date anymore.

I'm a worrier by nature anyways ... adding kids to the mix just increased that 100 times over!! #2 would be "Less Clutter!!!!"

worry-free I miss..You just enjoy life,it's simple as a child.when you become an adult you have so much on you plate and then being a parent it's like your plates turned into a buffet!LOL!

I miss being able to sleep in on a Saturday morning, go to the movies at the drop of a hat, and being able to go out to dinner as much as I wanted. Now, I wake up at 7:00 AM every morning, watch whatever is on HBO, and dinner out has turned into carryout!

I miss having time for myself, but being able to watch my child grow before my eyes an not missing a single moment of it is the best.

I miss being able to sleep in or just get a normal amount of sleep. I remember being able to read a book , without jumping up a few minutes to see what my toddler's getting into....lol

If there was an ' all the above', I would have chosen it, and added some..LOL.
I have an 11 yr old granddaughter we are raising from infancy who is schitzophrenic. She is also 3 yrs old mentally.

Anyone want to babysit for me? Hmm?
LOL!!!!

I miss having my days wide open and being able to work on my art. By the time my little boy goes to bed, all I feel like doing is vegging out to some video games.

I miss the weekend getaways with my husband. We would just jump in the car and run off somewhere at a moments notice. So much planning goes into our getaways now....which stroller to take, how many snacks to pack and are there things for the kids to do?

Boy I do miss not having to worry about that stuff but then I wouldn't trade my life for all the money in the world. Everyday my kids make my life better. There are so many things I think I would miss if I didn't have someone else that I wanted to show everything to.

I agree with Michelle and mmm. All of the above...

Piper is so worth it though. She is my little blessing.

i never had a worry free life,and the night-life got me in trouble ;),I married while i was in high school so i'v never had a 'serious' job. So i miss time for myself and relaxing weekends,when i could sleep in,pick up and go place with out packing bags or have a babysitter..But While i miss it i would never trade what i have now.

What I really miss the most is couple time. Time for myself is nice too, but time with my husband is even better!

I miss having a carefree life and not having to worry every moment about feedings, naptimes, is she too hot / cold, does Nonna know what she's doing??... the world is mean, etc. I also miss alone time with my partner, as things have changed a lot. I also miss going to the bathroom and not thinking about anything. But in the end, I love my daughter so much, that I wouldn't change anything. :)
