Do you ever just sit and think about the way things are and what it could be?

NOPE - oh opps I'm single :) I am however a thinker and my mind goes crazy most of the time - oh, example last night I had this great idea and started working on it and my mind kept adding to it and adding to it and I just kept working away but mind kept working also. I went to bed at 5:30 a.m. :( And I do do that a lot - then wonder why I can't keep my eyes open now - I was up at 7:30.

Well since I am a single parent, and my 18 year daughter old just moved back in with me, after living with two of my brothers for a brief time. I am the one that does the thinking in the family. I still do the thinking for my oldest 21 year old daughter who is living out on her own, though she is thinking a lot more for herself, since she has moved out. I still find myself thinking for her too. I do agree two heads are better than one, but it has been just been me with my two daughters for many years.

I am like you pal , I am always thinking , especially when I go to bed , My mind just wont lie down , my hubby and son are always telling me to chill lol , As you know I look after my parents too who both have Alzheimers and I am always thinking for them too , I think if we wre this way there isn't much we can do about it , and be honest lol we DO think of some good ideas :) xx

I try to not think too much, when I do I get depressed... Not because I don't think really well, but I get to thinking about things that are sad.

Yeah, we have thinkers here. I think realistically as in, I get a job and we get more money coming in so that we can help my daughter get a job so she can become more independent and for my son so he can have friend over to play with.. My husband thinks unrealistically as in we hit the lottery big time and pay all our bills and help everyone else..

Well thats a good question...I do most of the thinking in my family also. Always thinking I wonder if this will work or do I need to do this...Nonstop...My husband has agreat mind just doesn't use it much around the house...LOL...How about your husband? I go to bed thinking of ways to better things for my family....How about you?

I would have to say that my husband makes all the business and investment decisions and does an excellent job. I make the decisions when it comes to the house, repairs etc. Most often we both make decisions when it comes to our grown kids but they are old enough to make the final decision. I respect how they feel and why. All three of our girls are very level headed and work things out to their benefit. Good discussion.

yes I always think about how to make life better, but just my son and I live here and we have very different views on life. We end up arguing all the time

oh i am so like you. all i do is think and worry. i am always trying to think of things to make it all better. well at least a little better. when i run things by the hubby he says what ever you can do what ever you want. he just sits back and goes along for the ride. i really don't think he thinks he is more of a just do it and see what happens. i think about it until i just can't stand it any more. its kind of nice in some ways that he is like this when it come to a couple things. but other times i wish he would take just 5 minutes to think.

Hi stephcjh, how are you? Its been while and I'm still trying to glide my way to this community. Everything seems so foreign and different yet familiar to me, lol. For as long as I can remember, my brain never stop thinking. Even while sleeping, it stubbornly refuse to shut down. I once have a relative who advised me to think not only for tomorrow but to think farther like 10 years. In my own experience, the more we think, the more we became a worrier. So I ceased thinking too much and simply take everything in stride. I am the only thinker in the family. I try to make sure that I have something to do all the time so as not to make any room to think too much. Hugz :)

I'm exactly just like you I think a lot for my children and my husband. I make some ideas that really help my household and I brought it out to my husband and we both agree into it. I do a lot of thinking specially when it come to money how can I budget the money he gave me I also think of some extra effort on hoe to earn money and I make it through here online it takes effort and time but I think it will do something for all of us. I all think of our future on how can we retire in good faith ohhhh there many thing you can think nonstop you said. It's part of us in our life. We can say that we do a lot of it without knowing that our spouses did it too. I must say that we have to great mind. We have to do it together as partner in life.

Yes I do, especially recently. I have been spending a lot of time thinking about not just the family's direction but also my own. I am very lucky to have 4 great minds in the family it is just that the other 3 don't always use theirs to their full potential and this is something I think about how to change fairly regularly. I think that mothers and wives are some how more in tune about thinking for the family. Having said that though my husband and I are very good at bouncing ideas off each other and when we put our heads together look out world here we come!

yes we do think together,and though i am ususally the one to do the first thinking we come together to agree on what to do about the ideas and we come to a reasonable conclusion

i do think smetimes..but then i jus think may b its bound to b dis way n start wid my routine..

I do this a lot anymore... I have a lot of family situations going on... I sit and wonder what would be the best way to take care of them. Am I hurting my kids, or is this the right way to go with them. We don't have two minds that think the same in our house ... I guess that is why i wonder if it is best for my kids!

I tend to think alot about the future and try to make plans to help prepare for it. Hubby tends to live in the here and now though. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

My favorite time for thinking is when I go to bed.I think waht can I do more or better to makelife better for my family.. Sa you might know mind never stop even when we sleep our brain is working and thinking. I clould not say that I'm the thinker that we as couple think the same for better life.

Hello Steph I always think when ever I am alone. Even at home when I am doing some laundry or other chores and when I am about to go to sleep. I always think of how I will be able to make life better, on how I would be able to help my parents in the future and many and many many things. I am single yet, but I am thinking of how would my life be when I get married. And I do believe all of us do think about the way things are and what will it be. But then, our thinking varies from one another because of many factors. I do believe two minds/hears are better than one too.

I always think about how to make my life better.Recently,I'm always thinking about going abroad to study.But,it is really hard to dicide when and where.In addition,I'm a dependent girl since always.Decision!Decision!
