Question

Yes, this question has been asked before, but it gets such great answers. It is very deep and thought provoking. So tell me..........
What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?

Answer 1

I think I would be surprised at how outgoing I am now. I used to be kind of shy when I was younger. I think I would be proud of what I've done and shocked at some of the other things I've had to endure. I'm still a kid at heart, so I think I'd like the adult me because I can still enjoy playing and don't take myself too seriously as an adult.

Answer 2

My life changed drastically in a two days in 2000 when I was 11 years old so who I am today was not in my plans when I was a child, but I would be very happy and proud of my personality and how I have adjusted. since 2000 my life became a lot more serious and I spent my time learning and getting used to the new circumstances that I missed out on a lot of fun and laughter. The child I once was had a lot more fun and was enjoying life a lot more so she would probably say that I need to let go of certain things, not worry and have fun before all of my teenage years are over.
P.S. I'm 18.

Answer 3

She would probably think, "Gosh, she's too strict, she doesn't know how to have any fun!" I am strict with my kids, but I have to be because there are so many of them. We still have lots of fun, though. I just know how kids view adults. I would probably also think "Why does that woman get so tired at the end of the day, when she could be playing and still having fun? And why does she always do dishes and clean and vacuum all day, that stuff is boring!" Kids don't quite understand that loving them doesn't just mean playing with them all day, it also means responsibility, although playing with them is a big part. I remember thinking these same things about my own mother as a kid. That's something they find out when they themselves become parents. I also used to want to be a marine biologist as a kid, so the "kid me" would probably think that my current job was boring ( I'm a stay at home Mom.) I do think about this alot, though. I try to see myself the way my children see me, and this helps me to figure out how to be a better parent.

Answer 4

I think she would like me sometimes. I'm not perfect.I try to be fair and practical. I'm pretty silly alot of the time. I'm lucky that I have that option. ( to be silly) Some people don't. My nine-year old is a lot like me and she likes me most of the time. She always loves me though. I get on her nerves and we butt heads because I want to make her do things she doesn't want to do. I remember being her age. Her life is so great. Full of imagination and excitement. I hate having to get on to her but, you know, I'm the Momma.

Answer 5

At a young age I developed multi-personality disorder and the new personality took over occasionally the old me comes back but its rare. So in a way I still have my childhood self and he just wants to play.

Answer 6

I think about this sometimes. Im only a young adult, but my inner child would be asking "how did you lose interest in becoming a cartoonist?"

Answer 7

Wonder why I gave up baseball and didn't become a pro player and wonder why I work some much instead of spending more time having fun.

Answer 8

She would be so happy to see her dreams came true. I've always wanted a loving husband and family, and to work with animals, and have a nice house. Now I have all three and more. I'm very lucky. If she saw me pregnant with my third daughter, she would be ecstatic.

Answer 9

She would probably be thinking "wooo, she sure is sexyyy!! Love the outfit!! But where's her handsome husband and her cute babies? And why isn't she living happily ever after in a cozy little wooden house hidden in the forest??"

Answer 10

She would say ..Boy you are still alot like me in so many ways !Yet Im very proud of the wonderful wife , mother & hard worker you have become!
