I hate being a "Grown UP!"

My kids are out of school for two weeks + a couple days. Plus they get the summer off, couple more weeks in the spring and days off during the other months for misc things. Ok, I am jelous, just a tad. I had to get up at 5:30 am... I called my house at 10:30 to see how everyone was doing, My wife just woke up and the kids are still sleeping. Called back at 11:45, the kids are still in their PJs and playing the PS2.... I want to play too!

 

LOL. I know the feeling.

Although..... childhood insecurities, teenage hormones, growing pains of all sorts. Don't know if I'd really like to go back to all of those.

 

True, pros and cons to almost anything. I guess being a teacher would be a happy medium too.

 

I never want to be young again, but I didnt want to get old either.

 

I'm still counting as a "young-en" i hope at 16, and am trying to enjoy myself whilst i can

 

Face it Wenchie, you are young. At least compared to some of us around here. And I wasn't thinking of you G.T.

 

Me too. I want to get a burr and go to florida with my parents.

Great memories.

Yeah but even though I'm a kid, I can tell you that it's probably better now than in 10 years or so when they are off doing things with their friends all the time.

 

LOL. Sure you were. Although there are some older yet. except when my alarm goes off in the mornings. At that hour, I'm older than dirt. But I get a bit younger after first coffee.

 

I'm always getting told to act my age, but I know people don't really want that. Besides, I can't. Truth is, I'd love to go back to 16, and do it all over again with what I know now. No wait, 6. Why waste 10years of summers off, Christmas off, Easter off.......Man would I be annoying.

 

im a kid and it sux being at the age where the grls are always crying/fighting about sumtin..especially if ur friends or sumtin have to move or u dont have friends...sux the only good thing too it is getting in trouble at school ...fun stuff

 

It only gets worse.

 

I wanna be a "senior member" when I grow up

 

Turning 30 was the worst experience I can think of.
All those bike crashes I'd survived, all the love I'd wasted, all the time I could have spent with my mother...
They all kicked in when I turned 30. They all hurt.

"The older you get, the older 'old' becomes..."

 

For what it's worth, its better to have learned that at 30 than at 50.

 

How very true, I learned mine during my 40th year. All the failed stunts that 'didn't hurt', and the things that 'didn't matter'. Luckily, we can 'live and learn'.
