marriage and kids only make you happy if that is what YOU want out of life. I have known some people who chose never to marry or have kids because they followed there dream and ignored everyone else.

Everyone is different. what makes one person happy may make another miserable.
Follow your OWN goals and your OWN dreams and you will find you own success and happiness.

My oldest sister has everything you could possibly want collage degree good job big house successful husband thinking about kids. But she is sad and she envies me.

I have no job and am on dissablity and me and my boyfriend are on oppisite sides of the world. But i did what was right for me and she did what everyone toled her she wanted.

Listen to yourself. you will find true success and happiness if you do.

I wish you the best of luck!


Why is your older sister sad though? She has a successful husband and doesn't have to worry about money or losing a home. :?

Because she is living a life she doesn't want. she did what everyone told her to do and did not do what she wanted. Though she may have money and what most consider success ,she does not have the life she wants. so she is unhappy.

You can live in a big house surrounded by stuff . But if you don't have what makes you happy all the money in the world wont make a difference.

let me put it this way. imagine you had a big house and lots of money. In order to get that house and money you had to promise to give up what meant most to you in life. That basically what some people do.

How awful mom must feel to not have anyone call her grandma.




What makes you think she wants that? I dread the first time in my life somebody calls me 'grandpa'. I'll want to kill myself. I hope I die before anybody even thinks that's an appropriate thing to call me.


Willard, I hope it is appropriate that this made me chuckle.......and made me feel a strange affection for you :wink: ......

I don't want to be called a grandma either......in fact I am not that excited about being a grandmother. Raising a well adjusted son is work enough.
