Thankful taht I no longer have to deal with the NYC dating scene (it is horrible) and really glad to be saying goodbye to the world of renting. LO is 8.5 months now and this is so much more enjoyable and less overwhelming than those early days. Life is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639133 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:31:17 +0000 Rock n Roll 639133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a year from now I will be. This year I finish my Master's and we are buying a house. Once those thing are out of the way, I think we will be able to really settle in and just enjoy life for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639130 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:30:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 639130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very happy to be in my life stage as a mom of 2. However, like Mrs. Bee mentioned, I wouldn't mind fast forwarding a few years to when the kids are a bit older (I can't wait til they learn to play together)... and by then we can travel easier too and do more family things like camping trips, ski trips, etc. Right now I'm in the middle of the newborn phase and I'm tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639119 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:25:17 +0000 Bookish 639119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel incredibly lucky to be where I'm at. 5 years ago I was debating dropping out of college, was having trouble paying rent, and was in a bad, bad relationship.<br /> I'm now a college graduate (working on my Master's), happily married, a homeowner, and about to be a mom! I really am shocked that I got here, and although I'm sure I will struggle with the baby phase, I couldn't be happier to be where I'm at!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639115 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:24:22 +0000 Alivoo01 639115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy!! It was a rough road getting here, and there are things I wish I could change, but that would probably change the outcome of where I'm at now so I'll leave it be! Can't wait to see what the future has in stock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639087 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:17:11 +0000 Andrea 639087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: looking at my in-laws, their kids are 3 and 5 now so they travel and can do lots more things together. It's not super hard now but the baby can't participate in anything so I struggle with deciding whether or not to drag her out for no reason all day long, especially since she sleeps really well at home. So I feel like our family is splitting up a lot. Me with the baby and our older one with the daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639059 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:10:14 +0000 Modern Daisy 639059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is where I've always wanted to be my whole life, so I couldn't be happier to be where I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639048 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:08:15 +0000 Mrs. Bee 639048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: the first year with two wasn't that hard. i think it's a little harder now esp since olive is delayed physically and is very opinionated. i hear it gets easier when they are 2 and 4 and play with each other. i hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639033 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:05:20 +0000 Andrea 639033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: me too! I feel bad for wanting to speed things up...and what if it won't be any easier? Ack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-639018 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:00:55 +0000 Pepper 639018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very happy to be where I'm at! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638999 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:57:06 +0000 swurlygurl 638999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy where I am, but I've pretty much been happy at every stage. There are some times when I think it'd be fun to go back to my first year of college where I was so carefree and adventurous - I'd sure miss my hubby and sweet baby though!<br /> Also, I'm trying really hard to live in the moment and enjoy every stage, but I'm definitely looking forward to having multiple kids that are old enough to interact with each other and play. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638924 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:42:04 +0000 pui 638924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty happy in my current position! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638908 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:39:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 638908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an awesome question!!</p> <p>I would say that I'm on the fence....We are young and happily married. We have 3 furbabies and they are wonderful :-) Buuuutt I really can't wait until we are TTC! I wish that I could fast forward a year or two when our debt is lower, and we are ready for a baby!</p> <p>But right now I'm just trying to enjoy married life! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638892 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:36:57 +0000 twoofeverything 638892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: EXACTLY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638850 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:29:56 +0000 spaniellove 638850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to move on from the infertile, in limbo life stage! It's hard to spin it as something else. Before this I was enjoying life as a young person but now I feel like I'm stuck in a terrible place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638612 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:54:08 +0000 illumina 638612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm exactly where I always thought I'd be at this age too! I have friends my age who are still dating and I admittedly find it so hard to relate to their issues, I've forgotten what it's like. Really glad to not be back there now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638578 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:20:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 638578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am completely happy!! DH and I have been married almost 2 years and I'm finally pregnant again after a very rough year last year. </p> <p>We got married young, but I was never into the dating/partying thing, so it worked for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638511 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:57:51 +0000 anonysquire 638511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to fast forward it a bit. I hate waiting for a baby. And I loved planning my wedding but hated the actual day so I wouldn't go back. Dating was fun but I'm glad I'm done with the stupid games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638506 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:54:20 +0000 Cherrybee 638506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love where I am right now - I can hardly believe I'm actually here! After so many years in the dating game (I am SO over that!), the last 4 years have seen me meet the man of my dreams, get a job I really love, get married and actually buy a house (something I never thought I would be able to afford to do) - and now we have a baby on the way! I arrived here at exactly the time I thought I would - I just took a detour in the beginning and sprinted the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638499 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:45:38 +0000 Boogs 638499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm thankful to not have to be dating and to be a SAHM and not answer to anyone. I'm also thankful that LO is such a great kid and that we are traveling a lot this year. I know once we have another next year it will stop, and I won't have 100% for my LO so I'm enjoying everything right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638225 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:57:18 +0000 photojane 638225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. Never been happier. I've waited my whole life to be a mommy, and it's even better than I imagined/hoped. I'm with you on being so glad to not be in the dating pool or planning a wedding - it was totally fun during that phase, but I'm glad it's passed. I'm so in love with my hubby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638203 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:51:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 638203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really happy where I'm at. I feel like all the hard work I did in my 20's has paid off. I got my education, built a career, and had so much fun dating and going out all the time with friends. I feel like everything has come together and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638200 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:50:50 +0000 Rubies 638200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very happy where I am - I'm exactly where I thought I'd be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638197 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:49:08 +0000 matador84 638197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of. My DH is gone all the time and it's just the baby and I 90% of the time. I am really independent and that is hard...the fact I just can't go do what I want to do anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-to-be-at-your-current-life-stage#post-638194 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:48:05 +0000 MediaNaranja 638194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I so wish I was done with school and working.
