    Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

    Do I miss being a child? Sometimes, yes. But do I get so nostalgic I run a bubble-bath, burn some candles, put Michael Jackson on the stereo and sing You Are Not Alone until I get all wrinkly? Certainly not.

    Dinner cooked for me, pocket money, saturday morning tv, long school holdays, no responsibilities.

    Nah, don't miss childhood at all ;)

    I'd love life to be as simple as it used to be again. I'd love to feel that the future didn't matter, only right now. For a while anyway. :)
    This being an adult stuff is hard work, I need a break.

    Ah I remember when I was a child (early to mid 80s) when summertime in Ireland meant that the sun actually shone for more than 3 days.

    The thing that bugs me about this life thing is that nobody ever asked us to be here. We were born into this hellhole and now we're supposed to make good with it, 'into this world we're thrown'.

    No, the best years of my life were my mid to late twenties. Life began to make sense, fell into place and seemed to work out.

    Childhood.....utter bollocks and good riddance to it. Good riddance to fossilised crones claiming 'schooldays were the best of our lives'. Good riddance to "bhi me ag foghlaim pratai pikey'. Good riddance to being told 'So and so has a Fainne (and getting a clip across the ear for replying in Spanish, "I don't give a fukc".

    I'm very balanced, I have a chip on each shoulder.

    That was only one year. Almost as exciting as the year of The Big Snow.

    In relation to OP, no I hated being a child and couldn't wait to grow up, free myself of my parents prediveorce, divorce, post divorce crap

    Nope. I love being able to make my money, spend it on whatever I want. I love being able to choose what I want to do, where I live, where I go.
    Childhood was a load of bollocks. Either getting the head punched off me by my dad, or doing things I didn't want to. **** that.

    Yep, there was nothing like that summer at the end of first year when your holidays went from 2 months to 3 months and seemed to last forever.

    I remember one teacher said to us "12 weeks off" and it just didn't sound as long at all :(
