Definitely agree with hating getting up early and scraping the frost off the car. I certainly don't miss having to attend office meetings - they were so boring that I found it an effort to stay awake. Also, no more childhood illnesses and worrying who could possibly have the children whilst I went to work (more often than not, no one, I had to juggle holiday/flexi leave to look after them). I certainly don't miss the loss of freedom looking after little ones entails, life became so much easier when they were teenagers, for me, they were the most enjoyable years!
