I'm struggling with that too: the feeling of privilege and ingratitude. I need to think about this a little bit further: it is related to the question of whether moving out is a form of escape from the real problems (like here).

Thanks for bringing that up. I’m struggling with that too: the feeling of privilege and ingratitude. I need to think about this a little bit further: it is related to the question of whether moving out is a form of escape from the real problems (like here).

We also live in a nice neighborhood, with great schools and parks and safety, and I feel privileged. And also terribly ungrateful for not feeling at home sometimes. Are we right to complain? To want something better for our children when we already have so much more than the majorities of moms on the planet? I'm not saying one or the other, it's just a question I keep in mind. Would love to hear your thoughts on that. Thanks! You have put to words just what I feel myself sometimes.
