I pre empted it would be full on when we had children,so 4 the 5 years b4 I stocked up on 'my time'.Had 5 years of total freedom,my hubby was happy 4 me 2 do whatever I wanted,so I did. For 5 lovely years I'd go to bed when I wanted get up when I wanted.I'd persue anything that interested me.I pampered my hubby & myself alot,in the summers I'd often laze around in the sun, relaxing with a good book,going out with my best mate anytime I felt like it.Our daughter is 12years now & she's my life & I don't regret a moment of it.We all know when we have kids, our needs & wants are no longer the prioity. So dont dwell on the things you miss coz oh so quickly our kids are grown up & gone,then I'll know how it feels to miss!I'm not Roger by the way I'm his wife Michelle

lol. yeah, im right there with you on the laying in bed part. that was nice. oh, and i miss being 110lbs!!! but someday, we will have empty nests and long to hear those sweet little voices in the morning. Honestly, if being a parent werent so darn awesome, those things MIGHT get to me. But just looking at her makes me wanna squeeze her til her lil eyes pop out! I thought it would go away after a while, but shes 2 yrs old now and I still get overwhelmed by that warm fuzzy feeling all the time. There may be little things that I look back at fondly... but when I compare my life then, to my life NOW, there IS NO comparison. I am so much happier and more fulfilled than I ever thought possible. Yeah, I'm a size bigger, and yeah, I have perma-dark eye circles, and yeah, my house falls apart if I dont clean it every stinkin day... but dangit... shes so darn cute that I dont care! I have a good friend who has 3 year old twin boys, AND 7 month old triplets. Well, there are only 2 of them because one was lost, but anyhooo... she has 4 kids under the age of 4 (yeah, she was even on birth control both times, lol) and the 2 youngest are very sick and very small from being preemie triplets. at 7 months old they are just now able to grasp things with their little hands and only weigh 11 lbs. Its madness... Imagine how SHE feels!!! to top it off, she had just finished 8 years of college when she found out they were having triplets!!! but as she says "I would rather have my hands full, than my arms empty"

love the top answer. For me it is also sleep. Now they are older I can get a sleep in on Saturdays but now we have a puppy that needs feeding etc, so it is back to no sleep in. I miss the spontenaety of if i want to go out at night for something. I am a single mum. Once the kids are in bed that's it. The thing is though they are worth it. One day they will be all grown up and i will sleep in if i want but long for the days I had to get up..

I missed lie in's, not being able to just pop over to the shops, having privacy in my bedroom/bathroom.
I missed my social life, although I think that being a mum makes you APPRECIATE the odd nights out that you do get... no getting bored in the pub - you relish every moment of free time!
My son is 12 now & I've a baby due in July - so, to be starting all over again, I must miss bringing up a little one MORE than the above!
(At least this time round my eldest will be at hand to watch baby whilst I pop round to corner shop etc!)
Children are hard work - and as one challenge passes, another comes along... but they are worth every minute of your time!

Hi, I havent had kids yet, and hopefully I will do soon. I know I will miss sunday morning lie ins with my boyfriend, getting nice presents, like going to the theatre and eating out, and basically learning new things about each other.
But you know what? I will love having my kids wake us up at the weekend, and do all the little things kids do everyday.

Yes! Dates with my husband!
We try to make date nights atleast once a month, but something always comes up. Last month we were going to dinner together and ended up wrapping our food in to-go bags and rushing back home to take care of our sick 3yr old! Our sitter called us on our cell phone to let us know that my 3yr old daughter is throwing up.
The month before that, my husband got called into work at the last minute and we couldn't go out at all!
It's hard being a parent and maintaining a marriage at the same time!

What a great question.....
I miss being 50lbs lighter. (Working on it)
I miss dates with my husband. (Working on it, being more social)
I miss sleeping in. (Time will tell)
That's pretty much it!
I love my two children.
I love when they say 'I love you mommy'.
I love when they take their first steps.
I love watching them play and have fun.
I love the hugs and kisses.
I love bed time stories.
I love watching them laugh.
I love them and wouldn't change my life for anything.
I recently ran into my highschool best friend that I haven't spoke to in over 7 years and she still the biggest partier I know. drinks just about everynight of the week and parties hard. But her life is sooo lonely. Theirs no one to share it with. She thinks I'm boring. I love and enjoy my life, sleep deprivation and all. I think she's sad, and lonely. What kind of life wold it be if I didn't have my children, It would be a pretty selfish and lonely life! I'm so happy i'm not her! I GREW UP!

I miss the sleep! How lovely it would be to go and get back into bed and pull the duvet back over my head and sleep.
I miss being able to watch normal TV and not programmes with annoying songs.
I miss being to actually hear the TV when I get to watch what I want.
I miss having a tidy house.
But I wouldnt be without him for the world.
