Being a parent, you want everything for your children. You want the perfect spacious home, the back yard that goes on for miles, fenced in of course. You need the 2 cars least, right? But at what cost can we attain these things?
I'm finding more and more that the families I've envied for having it all.. really only have it all on the outside. I won't mention the ones I know of personally, but I must mention Jon and Kate, from TLC's Jon and Kate plus 8. I watched the season premiere last night, and finished it this morning. Yes, I rarely get to watch a show in one sitting. They are on the verge of divorce. and just a few months ago I was watching them move in to the perfect dream house for their family, wishing it was me. It's yet another couple who reach those goals, and fall apart on the way there. What's the point of it all if you can't enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed. I'm shocked, and it really makes me want to change my goals.
One of our main things right now is waiting to get a new place. We have 2 girls now, and only 2 bed rooms. And oddly I'm really happy... I'm not itching to move like I was a few months ago. YES, we physically need more space. I have a big red wagon in the pantry.. of course we need more space. But i'd rather have a wagon in my pantry, than have all the space in the world and not share it with my husband. He's already barely home because he has to work insane hours. It will just get worse the more money he makes. right? no thanks!
Does anyone actually have it all?
