i wake up every morning angry about what my life is. i really think there is something wrong with me. i cannot stand my job, realize that i need the $$, and have no idea what would make me happy. even if i had the $$ to sahm, i have no excuse b/c my kids are older and in school all day. just hate the idea that i didn't make something of myself.

i hate people who ask for advice and then shoot down every helpful suggestion they get, so please forgive me for this, but i have to tell you that by the time i get home (not too late, i work 8-4 and have practically no commute), get dinner on the table and interact with my family or do chores, there is no time or energy. not to mention that there is not any extra $$ for me to go to night school. i can see the value of what you are saying, though.

sorry; i had to leave for a few minutes. i think you may be onto something. i think i just have a bad attitude. i was so much happier when my kids were little. yes, it was sometimes isolating and not always intellectually stimulating, but i always felt it was important and i woke up every day knowing my purpose. now, i just feel like life is a struggle.
