Would you want your childhood back?

[irongirl]

Would you want to have your childhood back? I really would. My parents were the best parents ever. They made sure to give me what I needed and craved and taught me good lessons. I was not spoiled but did have quite a bit to be thankful for. I was able to go on many great vacations and camping trips and they raised me that family meant everything.

Interesting question.
As they say, hindsight is 20/20...if I could go back and correct some huge mistakes/poor choices, then absolutely. Actually, I wouldn't even have to go back to my childhood - just re-do my twenties.

Not really. I survived my childhood. Other than having HBO it wasn't a great time in my life.

No

That is an interesting question. On balance, I'd say no. Despite a good family and friends, I wouldn't want to experience the constant anxiety, fear, mood swings and pathological need to project myself in the best possible light.

21-25 would be another story, however.

I think this holds true for me as well. My biggest mistakes were in my 20s.

Nope, not in a million years, I'd prefer that it had never existed tbh.

Absolutely. I'd do just about everything differently. Now, at 29, I'd be stronger, smarter, and have WAY more money if I could go back and do everything over.

I'd have to make sure I still got with my wife though. I wouldn't want anyone else, and she doesn't even read this stuff, so you know I'm not lying.

Hell no!

Except for that night at the drive in with Cindy.
