What do you miss?

Josie83 wrote: As I practicaly have to prop my eyes open with matchsticks while entertaining my two-year-old, writing an assignment and thinking about what we have to make for tea I was just thinking . . . what does everyone miss about their lie before babies? Not that i don't absolutely adore Cassie because obviously I do . . . but there must be something everybody misses? xx

Josie83 replied: Okay . . . so as far as I can remember (as it hard to imagine life without her) . . . one of the things that i miss the most is just being able to go out and about whenever I wanted, you know "lets go to the beach" and it doesn't take three hours to get yourself and the baby sorted . . . I also realy miss not just being able to go out on a night when we want (babysitters). I so miss lie-ins too! And not being tired for about a week after one night out. Sometimes I miss havin time with Jason to, because we don't get a lot of time alone . . . bet you all know what that's like xx

moped replied: I must say that I was pretty selfish before Jack came along, having him at 33 leaves a lot of room for that. But I worry alot about silly things and I miss not worrying about everything............I miss my clean house and I miss my husband - things are a bit strained

MichaelsMommy replied: I miss being able to stay out all night with friends and sleep in the next
