I was thinking today about all the things I did as a kid that I never do any more. Things like...

Making crappy soda stream drinks and drinking them even though they were awful!

Birthday parties where you get spoilt rotten

It being OK to put a blob of ice cream in a glass of coke

Lying on the floor on your tummy to watch a film without your back or neck hurting!!

What do you miss from the days of your youth?

When I saw a cloud like the shape of Lord JESUS CHRIST and it makes me more good and less evil in my life. Have a nice day.

I loved having no worries when I was a kid. I think that now being an adult and worrying about bills and such takes away from me having fun. I think if I could be a kid again I would want to be the age of say 12 years old. That is when I was smart but still incconent as well. Take care and happy mylotting to you. happy

Good age - I'd probably be 10 or 11. Being oblivious was bliss xx

Well, I only miss one thing from being a child. That is being care free. When I was a child, I did not think of anything. I just played all year round. No problems or what so ever. ALl things were taken care of by my parents. But now, I am the one taking care of my family. and I want my children experience the care free childhood life that they deserve.

The carefree days where you don't have to bother about anything but for exams:P

As a child i was never a victim of mine and others ego too - LOL

Then as a child you always have loads of time for yourself which as you grow need to spared for others. - That is it, i could only think of these three for now:)

I have to agree with you that our adulthood sometimes hinder us from doing child-like things. What I miss most was playing in the rain...it is very awkward and not fit to my profession to see a girl in her 20's bathing in the rain. It is not just right and it would be a huge scandal. I might be taken out of my profession for misconduct! lol. Sometimes, when it rains, even when I have umbrella, I won't open it just because I miss the touch of rain on my skin. Definitely I won't be able to play in the rain anymore so I have to be contented in the shower.


myLot reputation of 87/100. hairypits (212)   ranked 1,218 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

I thought that same thing earlier today when I got caught in the rain lol! I stayed out that bit longer than necessary and my kids were looking at me like I'd lost the plot!


myLot reputation of 93/100. anneshirley (1133)   ranked 2,538 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

hmmm....I really wonder why is it very un-lady like to bathe in the rain?

A lot of things I miss during my childhood days such as:bathing in the rain with fellow children. To swim in the sea with my family on our old place before we move here in our present home. Those are memories that hard to forget. happy

I miss being carefree, wherein all you think of is which cartoon you wanna watch next. I miss getting away with mistakes from mom and dad because I'm a kid. I miss after school playtimes and getting all the care when I feel a bit sick.

I miss the carefreeness. I always wanted to grow up, but now I wish I could grow down again! Too many bills, too much stress. It was nice just being able to relax and watch tv shows. I miss watching Barney with my aunt, who passed away this March. I miss not knowing that half of my family is stupid and thinking that everyone in my family is the greatest ever and not knowing any reason to believe otherwise.

I think, perhaps, the thing I miss most about being a child was having faith in humanity.:) It was nice not understanding what people were doing wrong in the world.


myLot reputation of 87/100. hairypits (212)   ranked 1,218 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Awe phyrre we sound very alike. Sorry about you losing your auntie, my auntie's rock. I used to sleep out every weekend and they would take me to the video shop and have movie marathons. Then Sunday afternoons would be spent watching things like Sheena or Magnum.lol

One of the thing that I miss from my childhood is to be able to climb to the top of the tree and enjoy the view below. That was so amazing. If I do that now, I'll be afraid to look down. I am afraid of height now (I wonder when that was develop...) and the top of the tree may not be able to hold my height. Growing up can bring some new things isn't it?


myLot reputation of 87/100. hairypits (212)   ranked 1,218 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yep, I'd be frightened of the tree breaking these days!!

I miss a lot of things during my childhood years.. i always like being pampered by my family and relatives, playing fun fun games with my childhood friends, celebrating birthday parties(with matching birthday cake, balloons, party hats, etc), making ice candies, dressing up my barbie dolls and many many more...=)


myLot reputation of 87/100. hairypits (212)   ranked 1,218 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yeah - birthdays used to rule!!

I had loads of auntie's and uncle's who'd spoil me rotten, now I still wait in all day for people to come round and i get a card if I'm lucky!!! lol
