Do you miss the Gold Old Days? (Your childhood)

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

I certainly miss my childhood a little. I'm going to go with sometimes, though.

Not really. My family life wasn't all that great, and when you're a kid, you don't have much else. I do miss my grandmother a lot though. Getting away from the house and all the problems to have some quality time with Grandma was the best, despite her not having cable television, a VCR, a Nintendo, or any of the other junk my parents bought to compensate for their crappy parenting.

I don't miss high school or younger at all. Do I miss days of having no or little work and money, plenty of free time, and everything else young adulthood entailed? Yes, sure. But I'm happier now still even if I can't just smoke a bowl and play Morrowind for six hours until Conan comes on.

[Dr. Cynic]

Sometimes. One thing I do miss is seeing friends or other people every day. I don't anymore. In fact, I'm rather solitary anymore.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Yes, I miss high school all the time.

[LastVoter]

Sometimes I do miss elementary school, it was a chaotic, scary, but a fun time.

[dead0man]

No,it's much better to be an adult.

While clearly those days (the 70s and very early 80s) were tremendously better for nearly everyone, I don't miss them, because as a child I had to get up early in the morning.  In addition to that (which I consider the defining characteristic of a Bad Life) I also had no freedom, enjoyment of any kind, etc.  Like all childhood, it was a hell.

[Lambsbread]

Yes.

Mixed bag.  I was pretty ill for most of my childhood--had a congenital heart problem (a ventricular septal defect) that wasn't surgically fixed till I was 8, and the very high blood pressure and heart murmur it gave me did not allow me to run around too much or get too excited and so on.  That and my poor eyesight also prevented me from having lots of friends at school, or doing too well there at anything at the beginning  I was also the youngest of seven boys, and I think my older brothers didn't like me much and mostly considered me a nuisance.  But there were some good things too; I did have one really close friend I hung out with all the time, that I still know, and I used to love hanging out in the living room and listening to two older brothers play guitar and sing.  There were also favorite cartoons and movies (the first Star Wars film--IV--appeared when I was seven, I think).  My mom also made great food and my dad could be a pretty nice guy.  It was like the rest of life--a mixed bag.  I miss some things about it sometimes, but I also am sometimes very glad it passed.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No.  I was very unhealthy until I was about 24.  Childhood/Teen years were quite miserable.

[Torie]

F no. I'm living my childhood.

[Antonio the Sixth]

So much...

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Yes, I miss it horribly.

[DC Al Fine]

I miss all the free time. Playing Xbox for 12+ hours a day on weekends guilt free

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yes. I miss my college days the most. I had everything together in 2011. Not so much anymore.
