myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life 3 years ago

Are you ever amazed at your past and the things you have managed to do in your life? I was just meditating and praying tonight that my children would be happy and healthy in life. they are all 5 grown but i still want to do for them as when they were small. I was thinking of how i would have never believed all this when i was say 7 or 8 yrs old. here iam at the ripe young age of 61yrs.lol and have 5 grown children,8 grandkids,AND even 2 great grandkidsshockedin my wildest imagination as a child i'd have never believed it if someone had told me. what would have amazed you when you was a child and could see the future you now have?

computers - and cell phones, need I say more

I never married, and I said I wasn't at 4. I didn't want kids and also said so at 4. I guess I'm kind of surprised I turned into a crazy cat lady, but not much...

you are either a very strong person or you could forsee your future. you may be clairvoyant. did you know that? what really gets me is that most people actually cant remember things that happened when they were very young. i remember things from when i was 2yrs. but some dont believe me. unless it was someone there. this is cool. another person with a great memory.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24693)   ranked 106 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

me? never forsaw desk top, much less laptop computers or not being tied to the wall with a phone

but about not having kid or getting married... one look at my baby sister and I said - nope, not having any of those....

I too have 5 kids, but they're all still young. My oldest is 12. I've always been amazed about it. I had my first at 17, and I constantly said to myself "I never pictured myself having a child at this age, I thought I'd be grown and married" Then I had twins, and I said I'd never pictured myself having twins, or even having 3 kids...

i knowshocked and like me you probably look at them sometimes and wonder how you could have done such an amazing, wonderful thing. wait till you have a big strong man that can look down at you and you cant believe this beautiful little baby became this big manlol and came from you!!

If I saw myself now when I was 8 or so, I would be shocked. While I'm proud of most of the things I've done, I don't particularly like how I got here since I was pretty wild in my 20's. I'm proud of my two sons but regret my marriage failed because of my ignorance. When I was little, I would never have believed that I would be divorced and it's a source of sadness and some shame for me. Still, I've overcome a lot of crap and I've done the best I could with what I had so I have some pride in my accomplishments.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

it sounds like you've done very well. i also wish i could have known things in my first marriage. i to was to young to realise what i'd done wrong. he was young also and we neither had the patience to see things through.

Hi bunnybon, Like you I often think about such things and of course it is very true that we still want the best for our children. I am 69 and often wonder where the time has gone, it just goes so fast. As a child we don't understand what it means to be grown up and times seems to go so slow then. It is hard for us to imagine that we will grow up and have children and grandchildren of our own, but it happens for most people. Soon we will be gone from here and our children and grandchildren will take our place as the grandparents. No doubt, they will think then as we do now. Blessings.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

lol yes, my oldest son here is thinking like that already. he has grandkids (the 2 i mentioned) and hes only 44yrs. i was 1 day 17 when i had him, and his wife had his daughter when he was just 17yrs. its hard to believe.

Wow, you are young! thumbup

I always thought I would have only one child when I got older and that's exactly what I accomplished. She's now 18 years old (almost 19) and is getting ready to get her license (She has the permit.) because she has registered a 1991 Lexus in her name. She'll be going to college soon. She applied for financial aid and I hope she gets it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

well i hope she makes it also. great. and thanks for the compliment. i guess im young for a great grandmalol


myLot reputation of 96/100. libby2009 (2553)  3 years ago

If at 61 you are young then that makes me at 37 a baby. Take us to the Bahamas and we'll have a splendid time. cool

Hi there,

That when you are still a child you can not make prediction of the future. That you turned a great grand mother is a kinda privilege but you had not though thi sway that you would be one.

I had no notion that I would be a father of a son and would be doing something that was beyond imagination then. Time takes its portion and we are left with wonder sometime.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

its just such a wonder. when i look back at my childhood pics its hard to believe.

Would you have ever thought this?

Hello and congratulations on living to be a ripe young age of 61. It's so amazing that you were praying and meditating this morning because that caught my attention. I was doing the same thing. I"m amazed sometimes when I look at my two children and I think that I must have done something right in my life even though I have made a few mistakes. I'm just hoping that my children will not make the same mistakes that I've made. When I think about my life I"m amazed that I'm still married, although this is my second marriage and the first one didn't work. Even this second one has been on the rocks and many times had been close to tipping over but for some reason we've managed to keep things afloat for almost 21 years now. This is what amazes me because I never would have thought that I could stay with one person for so long. Have a nice day and thanks for sharing. Happy Mylot..........coolI really did enjoy reading your post.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

thanks. i also enjoyed reading yours and i can see you know what im saying.

Pretty much everything.
I was sure I would always live close to my grandmother and that did not happen, I also have a daughter and for some reason I did not picture myself with kids.
My daughter is a blessing in my life and so are my friends.
I am amazed that I am living apart from my family and that my grandmother and mother both are in heaven now.
Life is a surprise at times.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

especially when you consider what you thought you'd do as a kid. i remember thinking i'd marry a rich man, that smoked a pipe,(shocked)who knows why, and had a mustachelol dont know how i came up with that. anyway, didnt even think of kids.rolleyes


myLot reputation of 96/100. ShellyB (3093)   ranked 1,212 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

I wanted to be a writer, and I used to read a lot.
I can see why you thought that, there are a lot of movies with men looking like that smoking a pie, and they look classic.
( I am amazed at women who wanted to be mothers when they were little, it happens and I am sure we amazed them as well).

Hey bunny! I didn't know that you had that many kids and grands!
You really are a very lucky woman! I am quite envious! I have
no children. When I was a child I thought that I would live
the American dream, as you apparently have, with the kids
and grands, but things didn't work out that way for me and
honestly I know that it is for the best! I guess I would have
liked to have had kids at one point and time and would now
like to have some grands, but things happen for a reason!
And as I say and feel that I am glad that my bloodline will
stop with me for many reasons. I don't have regrets for doing
the things that I did. I did what was right for me. I had a
tough childhood and a tough adulthood and I am first getting
my life straightened out now at the age of 56! At least I am
finally seeing the light!


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

i figure when you was a child you never expected things to go so rough for you when you were grown also. you was lucky in some ways not to have to worry over your kids. it was very hard on them and me while raising them. in fact my one daughter gave her little girl up because of fear that she would be doing without things she missed herself as a child.sad no, i didnt raise them easy but i done the best i could and now things are good most times. she has relationship with her daughter today and it taught my daughter to get an education and career so she could have things. this is my one kid that sometimes holds the poor living against merolleyes the rest say, without bad times we would not have known good. also, they appreciate how hard i tried and worked and sacrificed. i had a few deadbeat husbands, i'll tell you. so, its like you said maybe a good thing you didnt have kids and put them through all this.glad your doing good girl. you deserve some peace in life.
