k4kenny: Interesting that this thread is coming up today. Last night, I went to bed at 10.30 pm only to b awaken by my baby at 12.30am, she didn't go bak to sleep till 8.30 am. In my sleepless state, I had to bathe and prep her older bro for sch, pack 2 meals, tidy up d mess he made in my living room, bathe and feed d cranky baby before finally crashing into a 5hr sleep grin

Do I sometimes miss my single life of being responsible for no one but M̶̲̅ε̲̣? Yes

Would I trade my current life for anything in this world? HELL NO!!!
Interesting.....pls extend my greetings to ur kids n b tnkful 2 God 4 dem. Many wuld b eternally tnkful if only they culd hav just 1kid.

I miss/need sleep, miss having guys fight over me ;DI
Miss having time for my self. But truth be told, I love my boys like hell smiley. Wouldn't trade them for the world.
Re: Things You Miss About Life Before Marriage And Children by moneyes: 11:29pm On Mar 12, 2013
Wasn't an extrovert; marriage and kids freed me somewhat. But I miss not caring abt the bills. I miss not being able to hibernate with a good novel for a whole day (been on one for 2 yrs now grin). I miss the girly fights and gossips with my 4 sisters. Am begining to have a full night's sleep (that used to be something; the lack of unbroken sleep)

Still won't trade for the single, simple life.

The only thing I miss is my guitar which I was able to play for hours on end without any distractions.


The things I don't miss are:
1. The loneliness; coming home to my tiny flat with no one there to say hello and welcome me.

2. The endless days and nights of congee

3. Earning my salary and not knowing what to do with it because my needs were so simple, therefore going to spend it on nkwobi and beer.

4. Not being able to eat good home-made food and eating all kinds of junks sold in canteens.

5. The useless girls who were always trying to distract me when all they have to offer is their expired kpekus cheesy

6. Being broke at halfway of the month because of frivolous spending on useless things.


Overall, I prefer marriage.

Re: Things You Miss About Life Before Marriage And Children by Nobody: 2:31pm On Mar 13, 2013
I miss my sleep,having a straight night sleep is impossible.There is always this ear piercing cry of Taata!!Taata(meaning water)thrice every night.Kids can trouble the hell out of me,as they keep making me yell.

I prefer marriage abeg,more fun,constant company,someone to pamper you,sex without consquences,lots of respect from people around you,as a matter of fact I feel prettier as a mother than I did as a single lady.I didn't do much with my freedom as a single lady,so I don't miss it.There is something comforting about the fact that someone really cares for you and its not because he wants free kpekus.
