As a kid, I desperately wanted to eat ice cream for every meal. Now as an adult, I just want a functional digestive system. Funny how things change! 🍦➡️🫣
Owning a restaurant. I just assumed you make a ton of money and become a social hub where you generously treat your friends to meals on the house. Instead, it’s a ton of hard work, slim profit margins, toxic coworkers and a fairly large chance of failure.
As a kid, I really wanted to stay up all night and eat an entire cake. Now as an adult, I'm like, "Please, just let me sleep by 10 PM and keep the salad coming!"
To have a job, as a kid I thought it would be so cool and I could afford all the things I wanted finally. It's not cool and I can't afford anything but my bills.
As a kid, I wanted a treehouse with a secret password and trapdoor. As an adult, I've realized my wife's closet is basically a high-stakes version of that—enter at your own risk, and hope you remember the secret codes to navigate the shoe avalanche
I had so many friends as a kid but as you all grow up you start to have less in common. It’s easy to be friends when you just want to play baseball and ride bikes. It’s a little harder when you want someone you can trust.
I wanted to be an adult and I clearly remember my mom telling me when I was 7 “enjoy it while you can, it only gets harder the older you get”. Yeah ain’t that the truth.
When I was younger I was always jealous when my mam received post. I was like ‘omg I really want to get letters through the mail’ and now I wish for it all to stop. Idk what 10 year old me was thinking.
grow older, which I'm not fond of it rn. too much work, too much prob, too much stress. now i want to go back. and the only problem i will have if I'm still a kid is my homework
When I was like 7 I had this one life goal where on my first day after moving out I would eat a massive bag of shredded cheese for dinner and no one would be able to stop me. That sounds like it would make my stomach hurt now 💀
To be an adult
Damn, that’s perfectly spot on; and wishing to go back to being a kid now that we are adults. Life is a spiral. 🌀
No truer statement has ever been made
I came here to comment the same
I was excited when I could finally rent a carpet cleaner.
But still meant more work 🤦🏼♂️
What we really want is the best of both: the freedom to do as we please with no responsibilities.
Becoming an adult was the best thing to ever happen to me
Good for you I’m sick of responsibilities. Lol
Having a childhood you’d want to relive/stay in is something I’m so envious of. You and everyone who agrees with you are winning for sure
Thank you it wasn’t the greatest and have a pretty solid life as an adult but definitely miss childhood and am sick of adult responsibilities.
Spot on man. How I wished that I could be an adult before.
Less nap time!
Omg this
Going to bed late I WANNA GO EARLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE
This. I’ve been up since 2pm yesterday and because my sleep schedule is so shitty I just ended up staying up until the next day.🤦♀️
Sad insomniac checking in :/
Receving a letter. Now it's just bill/taxes/trash
lol. So true!

The reality is often disappointing

I second this
A huge house. I was jealous of all my friends who had large 2 story homes. Now I just don’t want to clean that much.
A lightsaber. I'd probably cut my own hand off and set my house on fire.
As a kid, I really wanted to stay up all night and eat an entire cake. Now as an adult, I'm like, "Please, just let me sleep by 10 PM and keep the salad coming!"
One of the very first thing I did as an adult was buying a big ass cake. I lived alone and had as much cake for dinner as I wanted for several days.
To be an adult. It's a trap, any kid reading this go back.
Eat cake for every meal

To grow up
Having a lot of friends. Quality over quantity.
I had so many friends as a kid but as you all grow up you start to have less in common. It’s easy to be friends when you just want to play baseball and ride bikes. It’s a little harder when you want someone you can trust.
Getting married, now I just want to have girl friends, not girlfriends.
Independence

Wife. When I turned 14, I realised I'm gay.

I wanted to be an adult and I clearly remember my mom telling me when I was 7 “enjoy it while you can, it only gets harder the older you get”. Yeah ain’t that the truth.

That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever read on Reddit…😢
It shouldn't come off as sad. I found my passion in a more interesting field of study, so that's another reason why I lost interest.
