I would have not got a perm in 8th grade.

I would have went to the prom.

I would have never started smoking.

I would have dated SOBH #1 longer then maybe we would not have got married.

I would have got out of that marriage faster. (13 months IS too long)

I would have went to college and got a degree.

I would have bottled up that “new” baby scent.

I would have not rushed my children (at least the first one) to the next milestone.

I would wrote down every story that my grandmother ever told me.

And I would have told her that I loved her more often.

I did!! sort of. I have an old jammie in a vac pack bag and it still has her baby sent.. I'm wierd.

ok ok...

I wouldn't have done "it" the first time with my friend just to see what the fuss was about.

I wouldn't have gotten that perm in the 4th grade . no good.

I wouldn't have fought so much with my mom

I wouldn't have gotten the ugly tattoo I got that is my first.

oh heck I don't like alot of my first anythings ( except my first child of course! )

luvmykids replied: Well a lot of mine are like yours .... especially on grandma.

Never would have permed my hair
Never would have started smoking
Would have finished college
Would have cherished "babyhood" more


Wouldn't have worried so much about high school drama
Wouldn't have spent so much time in the sun/tanning bed
Would've saved more money
Wouldn't have thought my parents were so stupid
Wouldn't have had the epidural my first pg
Wouldn't have had the party where someone stole and totalled my parents car (I still get in trouble for that one)

BAC'sMom replied:

I completely forgot about that one. An epidural would have been nice during that 29 hours of labor.

luvmykids replied:
I say that because with Macie the epi didn't work and it ended up being bearable and it made me wish I had tried to go natural with the twins. But if I hadn't had it, who knows what my labor would've been like! It probably seems so easy because of the epi, with my luck without it it would've been 29 hours for me too!

NEWMOM05 replied: Ok , my turn

I wouln't have did for the frst time until I was married.

I wouldn't married hub #1, what ajerk

I wouldn't have stayed with him for 9 months.

I wouldn't have been so shy at school.

I would've studied harder.

I wouldn't have dropped out of College

I would've been more active in my Church

I wouldn't have cared what others thought about me so much

holley79 replied: I think pretty much everything you have said applies to me. Well almost everything, I didn't marry your SOBH #1.

I would have gone into the military and let them pay for my schooling and be further in my career then I am now.

This is all I can think of right now. I'll get back to you.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I would've started trying to lose this weight sooner and hopefully be a lot healthier than I am now!

That's about it for now - I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.

I would take more time-with everyone-it goes by so fast.

I would have told DH sooner how I felt about him!

I wouldn't have moved in so soon with my SO--only after 2 months!

I wouldn't have continued to be in girl scouts when I lived with my dad when I was younger because that is where he met his evil wife I HATE HER! My dad will have nothing to do with me because of HER

I would've been more social and hung out with more people in H.S.

I wouldn't be such an angry person

I woudn't take things so personal

I woudn't worry about what others said or thought about me

I would've had more boyfriends, sorry to say, Michael is my only boyfriend ever!!

THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF FOR NOW!!

luvmykids replied:
Aw honey, you couldn't have done anything. I'm so sorry, I'm sure most children who lose a parent young like you did feel that way and I know you miss her terribly but you can't blame yourself.

1lilpeanut2love replied:
THANKS!! It is just SO hard! I just feel like I have been handed one kind of messed up life. Sorry to say that but that's how I feel! I miss and think about her so much. It is SO hard for me!

I wouldn't have been so shy in school.
I wouldn't have complained about visiting my aunt the day before she was killed.
I would have told my grandpa I loved him instead of always backtalking him.
