It's a New Year, which means none of us are getting any younger. Sure, it's fun to be an adult, but sometimes having adult responsibilities isn't all it's cracked up to be. I miss living at home rent-free, I miss summer vacations and I miss my mom packing my lunch box everyday. Since we can't turn back the clock, reminisce with me ladies and do tell, what do you miss most about your childhood?

1Summer Vacations!!
2climbing trees
3not worrying!
4Living rent free ranks right up there with having dinner made for you rather than having to make it yourself!
5No worries, work, money and all that. I miss those days!
6laughing at nothing in particular.
7no worries about anyhting..and just being innocent
8Not worrying about bills and having no responsibilies except myself.
9I miss having so many friends, summer vacations, studying for spelling tests with my mom, saving up my allowance for a month just to get a present for someone I cared about. Everything really lol... things were just a lot more simple back then.
10My creativity.
11I miss not caring about what I looked like.
12I miss all the time I spent w/my parents.
13Imagination. Not worrying about where money is going to come from. Being able to write everything you did off as youthful ignorance. I didn't know how easy I had it. Sad.
14Not having to be in charge and being with family.
15No responsibilities, summer vacations.
16I REALLY miss not having to worry bout college...
17Oh man, I was just daydreaming about my childhood the other day
18I remember my best friends and I would always go to this creek near the back of our neighborhood everyday after school. We'd follow the creek through like 5 different neighborhoods and didn't get back home until like 8. We'd catch frogs, salamanders, crayfish, bugs, fish, anything. Ah, good times, good times.
Roller skating...."ladies choice this time around, ladies choice..."
19I miss almost everything about childhood! I miss the carefree nights, the rent-free living, the spending time with friends and family, and just PLAYING for hours on end.
20Riding bikes with my sister and making up games to play...my father taking us swimming at my aunt's pool every night in the summer...all the times I spent with my best friend Heather...my whole family at the beach on Cape Cod...I could go on and on.
Mostly just all the really great memories I made with my loved ones. I'll never forget any of them!
21Playing outside all day without a care on my mind. Family trips. Feeling "taken care of." No responsibilities. Not knowing what betrayal felt like... the list could go on forever!
22always being confident,...never worrying about clothes..image
23No responsibilities and no worries! Life was easy back then.
24My brothers & sisters.
25The drama-free unconditional love.
happiness.
26Saturday morning cartoons. Summer and winter vacations. Rollerskating parties. Tea parties. Possibilities. Imagination. Hope. Believing that I can be anything I want to be, whether it's an astronaut, a figure skater, or an archaeologist.
27Having less stress, no bills, and being driven everywhere.
28I miss all the other kids looking up to me for being "the smart one"... I miss not studying for anything ever, I miss giggling behind my mom's back as I looked up words like "condom" in the dictionary and wrote the definitions to tell all my friends at school... I miss not worrying about my looks, my weight, my health, money, school, my future, and I miss that feeling where I was so SURE that the boy I had the HUGEST crush on TOTALLY liked me because he let me look after his Tamagotchi at recess, and drawing pictures in my diary of our wedding and the three sets of twins we'd have.
29being able to ride bikes all day long, without a helmet, and then coming home and taking a nice long bath, and that being the end of my day. thems was the days
30being carefree... happy, not having to stress about tests,no debts, no heartache, watching cartoons,not having to care about what i looked like...long list!!! basically i agree with everyone. darn i miss those days
31Playing in the woods during winter time and hearing the crackling of leaves under my bike tires.
I miss breakfast with my mom on sundays, and being a family unit , not so spread apart like now. I miss being Tucked in at night, and the smell of dinner when i would come in from playing.
32I miss having less responsibilities, being relatively care free, and thinking my parents could do no wrong...
33Being carefree and having no worries. When Life was simple.
34Being carefree and having no worries. When Life was simple.
35Catching salamanders, climbing trees. Playing Oregon Trail and Dino Park Tycoon on the macs in my jr. high computer class. Not worrying about money. When Kool-Aide bursts had faces on them and names like Alexander the Grape.
36I miss all of it........
37Having time... I miss daydreaming without guilt.
38I miss everything about my childhood...Innocence, creativity, making up games, going on trips, waking up early for my moms breakfast, having dinner with my family every night, not having any responsibilities other than cleaning my room, not having to worry about everything or anything, being taken care of, adventures, summer with friends, simple and fun school activities, having sleep overs, playing with friends, friends in general, pretend, camping, visiting family.
39experiencing things for the first time, feeling invincible, having natural energy and stamina.
40I feel like I missed out on my childhood...if I could go back, I would have told myself not to worry so much. The best part was having so many cousins around the same age as myself, playing tag in my backyard at midnight during summer vacation when everyone would come over. Visiting my grandfather's ranch in Mexico...that place just seemed so magical...there were fireflies (something you don't see where I live) and pecan trees as far as the eye could see.
41I feel sad now
simple kind of life!!!
42Being able to wear costumes to the supermarket! My mom totally let us wear them all year round, even out to eat. My brother was always a ninja turtle or karate kid.
43....being skinny and not worrying about how I look in pants.
