I had this conversation the other day
about how sad it is that when you're a child you want to grow up, and when you grow up, you want to go back to childhood
not sure about anyone else, but I do miss my childhood.. old tv shows, books I had, toys, talk about ch ildhood here

There's a greeting card I've seen at my local newsagent showing two little girls in high heels, make up etc, and on the cover 'when you're a kid, you imagine this is what being an adult is'.
Then inside the card - instead, it's working, paying bills, doing grocery shopping etc.

I had a very pleasant childhood - a lot more free than today's children I believe because so much was different then. I was born in 1950 so my childhood was essentially the 50s and early 60s and I was a teenager in the 60s. I absolutely wouldn't want to go back to childhood in regard of having to answer to parental demands and having to sit all those exams again. In many ways, retirement is like childhood in that if you aren't financially vulnerable you have a lot of freedom of both choice and action and nobody gets to tell you what to do.
