If you could go bacl to one time in your life when would it be

Yes I think when my two we still small when everything seemed perfect (I dont know what went wrong), but yes the 70's early 80's would be the time I think if I had to go back.

I wouldn't want to go back. Wouldn't have my GSs. But I would like to stay NOW. In the present.

I'm happy with my life now, but I would like to revisit the birth of my first grandchild. I had never felt such euphoria (out of it from exhaustion when each of my children were born) and floated home on a cloud. I really enjoyed his early years

cheelu I think you might be being a bit hard on celebgran. I don't know her story but I do know it doesn't always take 2! Maybe most times but not always.

I am happy now but if I were forced to go back I would have to toss a die to choose between when each of my sons were small. There have been many good times I could go back to and some bad ones I don't want to think about.

Movedalot how nice to see the correct 'a die'

Thanks Jeni just showing my age

don't we normally say 'dice' in this country.

Never mind!

Its a "die" if there is one. Two are "dice."

One die two dice Jingle/JO7/ rose

We crossed

They're only showing off, Jingl!

Ana if you've got it you might as well flaunt it!

I prefer to hide my light under a bushel...
(That's probably why I've become invisible! )

Could well be!

If you don't "flaunt it" you will only get the pedants on your back!

What pedants?

Those that lurk in "The Corner" jeni waiting to pounce on the unwary, for their misuse of the English Language. They then rain down unimaginable torments on the miscreants.

No! That's one of those myth things that people come up with.

Only meaning of 'die' is turn up your toes.

historically it might have been

I'd better watch out then if you're sure they're not an urban myth.

as ever

sorreee!

Each time has had its sun and shadow but little children are great fun so I look warmly at toddler and early years with my own two (1980s) and am now enjoying toddler time with our first DGD.

If I had to choose a time it would be in my forties. Children were at High School and happy. OH was happy at work. I was back at work part time after being a stay at home mum and was doing an Open University degree. It was good to feel confident and capable after years of being a mum. I enjoyed being at home with the children but felt as if I was always an appendage - someone's wife, someone's mum etc. I look on that period of my life as a happy one. Not to say NOW is not great and I DO like being "someone's gran"!

Yes. Forties are a good time of life. Although mine were still very child orientated due to late arrival of ds. Which in turn started off a mostly enjoyable time of life.

It' s like a book unfolding isn't it, life. totally unplanned most of mine!
