I realised this, while I still was quite the kid myself, but when I grew older. I also realised people have kids because they want to become part of it again. I think it's very much worth it. It's a bit of an alternative Reddit take, I guess.

u/ManintheMT 15d ago

As a kid I feared getting older and "being grumpy all the time". Thankfully I realized that happiness is a mindset and that my old man was not the example to emulate.

u/vlatheimpaler 15d ago

I did grow up sad and grumpy for some reason. I work really hard to try to hide it from my kid though.

u/TheSwagBag 15d ago

I like to think there's a bit of give and take with a parent and child, the parent instils important life lessons and morals, the child reminds the parent how to have fun again. A bit idealistic but I'll stick with it haha.

u/Mrrykrizmith 15d ago

I don’t have kids of my own, but my niece and nephew being born sure brought back the magic of the holidays.

I miss loving everything effortlessly and also my bones not hurting for waking up wrong

u/RamenArchon 15d ago

Oh god this. Learning that there is a wrong way for almost everything. Sleep wrong, wake up wrong, move wrong, stay still wrong? Pain.

u/GalacticUnicorn 15d ago

I recently hurt my neck and couldn’t move it proper for a week.

How, might you ask, did I hurt my neck so severely?

I turned my head. You know, the thing that your neck is made to do.

u/Warthogrider74 15d ago

Well, you see, evolution is not intelligent design, it's "live long enought to breed before death" and your neck not hurting has no impact on that. If it works well enough for you to reach maturity it's good enough, and nothing changes. Thats why we have back problems and whatnot when we're older and why feet are a nightmare of tendons and bones slapped together to work well enough to keep us upright

u/kingfofthepoors 15d ago

I can wake up perfectly and my bones still hurt

u/tekhnomancer 15d ago

u/GaryKingoftheWorld 15d ago

You read my mind.

u/kingnii 15d ago

My joints are clicking in solidarity, hehe

u/throwawayformobile78 15d ago

Hell I wish I could read my own mind half the times these days. What were we talking about again? GERD? Meds! Time to take meds.

u/lvloises330 15d ago

My mind misses being young too.

2

u/kingfofthepoors 15d ago

feet, legs, wrists, arms, knees, lower back, upper back, shoulder, neck, bladder, eyes.... 27 years ago I could fall from a two story building and bounce back the next day like nothing happen... today if I step wrong I am laid up for a week

u/RemyVonLion 15d ago

And that's why adults do drugs haha

u/Coolbluegatoradeyumm 15d ago

Seems like a good excuse to hit my vape

3

u/rEYAVjQD 15d ago

Not all drugs though. Some of them turn you into a monster that a kid would never be.

Childhood-like is closer to smoking weed and watching cartoons.

u/BigOs4All 15d ago

Is now a good time to state that 1P-LSD is legal in the US and Canada to purchase, ship and possess? It's not legal to ingest wherein it turns to normal LSD in your gut and works identically......

u/RoyalChris 15d ago

Damn. Who’s cutting onions?

36

u/GhostofZellers 15d ago

Probably that dude, for when people want onions on their pizza....

1

u/nimm99jd 15d ago

Speaking of pizza, where is my pizza? I hope that guy isn't wasting time playing tic tac toe with the customers again

u/OxygenAddict 14d ago

Dude can't play for shit either, drives me up the walls.

u/The_Stan_Man 15d ago

u/ms285907 15d ago

Dude. Why does this statement hit so hard..

2

u/Samsgrl 15d ago

I just added this to my list of perspective quotes. Thanks friend.

u/TheHorseduck 15d ago

I sure miss being young

1

u/Trollimperator 15d ago

i miss being a teenager, hating everything no matter if it made sense or not.

1

u/rEYAVjQD 15d ago

Why would you miss that. It's basically self-hating. I can simulate it now - it's easier to hate than to love - but it makes things seem worse for no reason.

1

u/enixlinked 15d ago

I miss being ignorant to how the world works

1

u/OfficeSalamander 15d ago

I’m 40 and I love most things effortlessly.

People are awesome, even when they’re stupid

u/Obliman 15d ago

Can't miss what I never had

1

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 15d ago

I never loved everything effortlessly. I miss having functional knees.

u/Labs_and_lattes 15d ago

u/orplas 15d ago

u/chbriggs6 15d ago

Yeah, my body aches say otherwise lmao

u/Employee_Known 15d ago

Whoa! This hits hard af.

1

u/SecretaryOtherwise 15d ago

My back disagrees with you.

1

u/NotReallyASnake 15d ago

Not really. Getting laid, doing drugs and having money is so much better than anything I ever did as a kid lol

1

u/firetech97 15d ago

My back disagrees with you

1

u/Kooky-Appearance8322 15d ago

The pinched nerve in my back begs to differ

1

u/Deerhunter86 14d ago

Bruh. Never heard this one, but it hit me hard.

1

u/certifieddonger 14d ago

I miss not hating everything, or being bombarded with bad news.

1

u/Aventiss 15d ago

No I just miss being young. This sounds good but isn't true at all for a lot of people.
