I went down a water slide like this one. It makes you go down an enclosed tube, round the bowl, and then dumps you out the bottom in about 6-7' of water.
If you didn't cross your arms over your chest, you ran the risk of getting a rash or scrape on your arms.
Owning a restaurant. I still have nightmares and physically feel sick thinking about how intense and all consuming that was.
Teaching my kids how to drive. Nope. My eldest daughter was enough for me. The rest of them are on their own. I’m pretty chill with my kids and them growing up and becoming their own person….I just can not with being in the passenger seat though. Driving lessons for them.
I almost posted "owning a retail bakery" yesterday. I feel like I missed out on so much. I really wonder how different my life would be if I hadn't.
I feel like I lost so many years of my kids lives working as much as I did. Birthdays, holidays, telling them I couldn’t be home tonight because I had to work late/go into work. And yet, just tonight again they ask when I’m going to buy another place. It was hard. Literally the worst years of my life. All encompassing at all hours. Do not recommend even for the money. The stress and medical issues will plague me to my times end.
I thought of another one: willingly make myself uncomfortable because I "should." So underwire bras, tight clothes,heels, waxing, parties I don't want to go to, staying in stupid conversations with strangers (my husband opens the door to anyone who knocks 🤷). Fuck it all. I think COVID made me manifest my 80yo self early and I'm glad she's here. Get off my lawn!

Yes, my DH is like the lights are all on, we are clearly at home, we have to answer the door. Unannounced stranger at the door? No.

I always say I won't commute an hour + each way again. If it comes to that DH and I will really have to evaluate how bad we need me to work (since we can't move)
I'll echo the volunteering for a group. I was part of one that would wrap gifts at Barnes and Noble over the holiday season. A couple of times Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday, and they would guilt you for not volunteering as it was a super busy day for donations. Dude, I give a lot, but often don't see my husband on a holiday. That group was shady overall. They've since moved their group event location twice since I left.
I don't wear heels anymore. I hate that I work with women who still pride themselves on that being professional.
Taking children to Hawaii. It was just as awful as I predicted. But about twice as expensive as expected. So that’s fun.
Oh no, what happened?
Nothing horrible, just bickering, ungratefulness, lack of understanding the enormity of the trip, whining, complaining, preferring to watch tv than explore.
All things I should have, could have anticipated and expected but thought it would be different. I only cried three times though…

Ok, I remember your posts about your concerns before the trip. I don't think many kids get the enormity of a trip, but when older lots look back on things like a big trip with appreciation. Sorry for the bickering though and that the trip was harder than necessary.
