Life gives you one "do over"

I regret never getting to see a game at RFK,those were the days.Got to see the Who there,that was the closest I came

Always good when parents bag their responsibility and make the kid choose. Not to bash your parents but that was crap man.

Hard to paint a rosy picture but both of them did a good job of not making me feel guilty by picking either one. If ever there was a "civil divorce" this was one of them. It was one of those, "I want you to live with me just as much as your father wants you to live with him. We're not going to force you to live with either one." And the choice was always open-ended, meaning I could say at any time I wanted to go live with my dad.

I am my past...I wouldn't change a single thing.

I'll have to say all my dumb choices in the past have me where I am today. If I didn't get married a a ripe old age of 21 I would not have my daughter today. If I didn't go through girl friend after girl friend after my divorce at the ripe age of 23 I would not have found my wife today. If I didn't find my wife I would not have my other daughter which has brought a hole new meaning to life at age 45. So I guess I have made alot of bad decisions for just the right reason. I will add that at age 25 a made the decision that my daughter needed a parent to step up to the plate and I devoted my life to her. It made me a better person and provided me with a life time of great memories.

Cop out.

Come on play along, you don't have things you look back on and wish you could have done differently?

Man, I guess I'm the only one that would change a lot of stuff.

One of the big ones that sticks out to me as I sit in my cubical at my soulless office job is that I would have picked a different major in college. I wish I had put more effort into thinking about what I wanted to do with my life after school and perused that, because as it stands now I'm 27 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

When I was in 5th grade my parents got divorced. I was given the choice to live with either parent. I chose my mom for the simple fact that I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Had I chosen my dad I would have grown up in a much, much more financially secure household and with a lot more academic discipline. I love my life right now and never spend time regretting this decision; but since it was brought up, and small thanks to Schneed's post above, I thought I'd share.

Man that's rough.

When my parents split my brother and I didn't have a say and looking back it was for the best. We went to live with my Mom, spent holidays and summers with my Dad. I guess I could have asked to go live with my Dad if I wanted to, but under the circumstances they made things work pretty good.

Why grow up?

I would have never let myself get so out of shape.

When I got out of the Army I stopped exercising and continued to pound the alcohol just as hard. Today I am about 50 lbs over weight (all in the beer gut region) and I beathe heavily after walking up a fight of stairs carrying one of my kids to bed. I have a short term plan for correcting all of this, but I would have been better off never taking the road that I did.

I'm the white guy in the middle without the stash and mullet.

Thinking back when I turned thirty I hooked up with this really hot chick. I like a do over with her. I am talking about a do over with her back then when I was single.
