Do ye ever miss being a child/kid?

I was watching Toy story 3 there a few days ago and it got me thinking about my childhood because I grew up watching the films and it made me think of how happy I used be back then and how happy I actually was back then compared to now.
I do know now that I am older I have my independence.
So, Do you ever miss your childhood?

sorry but i don't miss a thing regarding my past persona. with every new year comes further development; progress.

seanybiker · 27-02-2011 05:11AM

Apart from not being old enough to drink then yeah I do miss it.

Sharpshooter · 27-02-2011 05:18AM

I miss being a child, being called a kid really gets my goat!

Tubsandtiles · 27-02-2011 05:24AM

OP I watched Toy story 3 a while back, brings back good memories of watching the Big Big Movie on Rte

Aww I miss thst, we always had to go to mass before it was over so we'd tape it to watch the rest later.

Ah the days if getting dragged to the holy family. Don't miss them at all.

Thinking back I only miss parts of it. Combine the innocence, excitability with the ability to drink, have sex, money and being able to wet yourself without anyone caring and your onto a winner!

christmas2010 · 27-02-2011 09:12AM

Not sure I was ever a kid!!
Wasn't very happy as a child and always wanted to be grown up and independent.
Would like to have some happy memories of childhood.

Kimono-Girl · 27-02-2011 09:31AM

i don't miss being a child but i do miss the things you could do back then,

like for example nowadays when i go down the slide in the park i get nothing but disapproving looks from other parents....

....probably because i left my child at the top, but still

bonerm · 27-02-2011 11:13AM

Kind of a double edged sword. I can to a large degree do whatever I want nowadays so there's no one directing me or telling me what to do anymore. On the other hand as an adult I don't get much enjoyment out of people or things these days (esp compared to when I was a kid). Overall I'd probably prefer to be a kid again.

Galway K9 · 27-02-2011 11:16AM

I miss being a kid such an adventure every minute

Nope. Late teens and early twenties was were it was it.

Chuchoter · 27-02-2011 11:54AM

I was like a really awkward weird child so not really...I do miss how exciting Christmas and Halloween were though.

sollar · 27-02-2011 12:07PM

I wouldn't want to go back to my childhood or even my teenage years. But i wouldn't mind going back to being 21 or 22.

Adyx · 27-02-2011 12:25PM

The eighties were a fantastic decade to be a child in even though we had no money. Great imaginations were all we needed (and jumpers for goalposts of course). And the lack of responsibility or worries.... I'd nearly give up the Internet to get that back again.

coffeelover · 27-02-2011 02:10PM

Really miss being a child

Best years of my life

Hate being a teenager!

Agricola · 27-02-2011 02:22PM

Yeah I miss it. Independence is over rated, it involves too much responsibility.
It'd be great to live every day just pursuing happiness while nothing else is expected of you. No pressure to conform, to work hard, to settle down, to have the 2.5 kids, to have the nice car, the foreign holidays, to go to christenings, weddings and funerals, etc etc etc.
Cant beat a life of getting up every day to play football, playstation, go on the swings and play tag, all the while getting approving looks from all around you!
Nowadays when I go on the swings, people give me funny looks and seem to think my name is Peter File.

Krusader · 27-02-2011 02:26PM

Running out to the park after school, playing 3 and in with your mates, catching frogs and bees in a jar, playing marbles,conkers,top trumps, great days. Never see kids do those things now which is a pity

Mrmoe · 27-02-2011 02:43PM

I wouldn't mind being a kid for a few weeks or months, no reponsibilities, no stupid politics, no real worries.:)

Asphyxia · 27-02-2011 02:50PM

Totally

The only worry you had was when you'll get your next chocolate bar :rolleyes:

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 27-02-2011 02:56PM

I miss all the sex...........................thanks father!

CrazyRabbit · 27-02-2011 04:13PM

I still haven't grown up.

Seriously though, my childhood was complete hell, so no thanks. But, I don't want to get any older

emeraldstar · 27-02-2011 08:53PM

Nah, I'm maybe happier now than I was as a child. More freedom.

And I can still watch Toy Story

Run_to_da_hills · 27-02-2011 09:21PM

I was quite good on the skateboard during the late 70's craze, knew most of the tricks, stunts etc, still have the board somewhere about, Gullwing trucks, kryptonic reds 75mm wheels, miss spending hours practicing on the road. Often see kids about on these things and feel like showing them how it's really done. I would prob break my neck on one now lol.

Do ye ever miss being a child/kid?
