What I miss most about being single

Got married 4 years ago and we have 2 kids now. Don't get me wrong, best decision ever. But man do I miss sleeping in. Just sleeping until like 10am on a Saturday without someone needing something. I miss spontaneous decisions like hey let's go to that bar tonight. Now everything is planned 2 weeks in advance. I miss my friends too. Seems like the crew doesn't get together anymore because we're all spread out dealing with our own families.

Sleep. I miss uninterrupted sleep the most. And the ability to be selfish with my time. But real talk, I wouldn't trade it back. The missing part just means you loved your old life which is fine to admit.

The spontaneity hits different. But dude you got two amazing kids out of this trade. Yeah you miss sleeping in or going out without planning but the rewards are totally different now. Different, not worse.

I get it. Having three kids and split custody means I still get that occasional solo weekend and it's glorious. But man when I pick them back up I realize how empty that freedom actually is without them around.
