Childhood Revisited

Today’s writing prompt seriously has me thinking. Here it is.

Sure, you turned out pretty good, but is there anything you wish had been different about your childhood? If you have kids, is there anything you wish were different for them?

When it comes to myself, I think I turned out pretty good. I was a hell of a teenager and dont know how my mom and dad made it through those years. ;) All the experiences that I have had in my life have made me who I am today; a wife, mother, daughter, author.

As for my children, I personally wouldnt do anything different when it comes to how I raised them. I just wish that they were growing up in an era that wasnt so violent. I wish that they could run wild like I did when I was young. I let them be pretty independent, but there are times when I worry more than I should and more than I think my parents or my husbands parents probably did when we were growing up.

That is what I wish was different for my children.
