Things you're sad you'll never do again.

[BlueBloodedBlue]

For me it's horse riding. Haven't actually ridden in years but I used to love it and always thought I'd go back to it.

Now too old and scared of falling and it makes me really sad

Anyone else?

Have another baby.

Hold my dads hand. I was 12 when he died. He did manual work and his hands were tough. He worked so hard so that I had choices and an education. I’d just like to hold his rough hand again.

Go clubbing without getting funny looks.
Get out of a sports car without grunting.
Tie my shoelaces while standing up.
Believe my partner has eyes for only me.
Not worry about money.
Not give a shit that I forgot to put the bins out.
Drink without considering the hangover.
Have a pet.
Believe I can achieve anything if I put my mind to it.

...and take my lovely Granny out for lunch.

Ski. I’ve lost my nerve sadly.

Carefree fun nights out raving to my favourite dance music (yes I can go clubbing again but it won't really be the same) and spending lazy weekends in bed/exploring London without a care in the world.
I love my life now with small children and it has many different kinds of joys but still I feel a bit sad about a big part of my life that I won't really experience again.
Also, hug my Dad...

Kiss my DM goodnight, play cards with my GM, run-absolutely no running now!

Talk to my Dad. He passed away 16 years ago but it still makes me sad that I will never chat again.

Go to Barbados.
It was nice, but I wouldn't want to go back.
I found the abject poverty right next to 5* hotels a bit much too.

Recreational drugs.
Used to love dropping a couple and dancing all night, or sitting in with some mushrooms and friends.
It would just be sad and tragic now...

Getting home from work and my sons all running up to the door shouting "Mummy, Mummy" and giving me huge smiles and hugs because they were so happy I was back.
Lying in bed watching kids TV with them on a weekend morning.
Taking the oldest 2 swimming at our local very warm pool, they were like baby seals.
Jumping enormous waves on holiday as a child with various aunts and uncles.
Dancing all night, walking home at dawn with friends. My knees are not up to it now.
Looking fab posing around the pool or beach bar! Vain, but true.

Make men's heads turn.

I am now a fat wrinkly over 60 year old and all the youngsters I work with (under 30s) see nothing else. I really want them to realise that when I was in my 20s I looked as good as (if not better in some cases) than they do.

I haven't always looked like this FFS!!!!

It's not just my looks that I miss, it's the fun and the dynamism of youth.
One of the youngsters at work was talking about a daft night out that escalated from nothing into tequila drinking and chaos and I felt a real pang of realisation that, if I were to tell that same story, I would be seen as sad rather than fun As an older woman I am no longer seen by others as I still see myself

Be pregnant
Hold a baby (of mine)
Go out drinking with my friend R
Go out dancing with my friend T
Live on my own in a flat in London

Hear my late husband come home from work and drop his keys on the table.Always made my heart skip a beat.

I will never hold my husband again, that makes me so unbearably sad. Its the thing I miss the most; being held tight by him, feeling loved and safe and happy.

Talk to my Dad. He passed away 16 years ago but it still makes me sad that I will never chat again.

Me too. My lovely Dad died way too young when I as in my 20s and I miss just being able to chat with him and ask his advice on things. He was very wise. Asking my DM about anything just wasn’t the same. She didn’t want to know.

I can't think of any, even lost loved ones. I was sad for a long time about not seeing my father after he passed, but after decades, I only enjoy the memories.
I love my kids, but easy to look back with rose tinted glasses. Having a baby and a toddler was really hard going, espacially with no family support.

I enjoy being nearly 60 and it is a relief to have become invisible to men's leery glares. I don,'t miss the male attention.
I feel as fit as I did in my 20s thanks to daily yoga practicefor most of my adult life so I can still do hard core astanga/vinyasa stuff. My body hasn't failed me yet!

See my partners face properly with my eyes. Sounds really odd phrased like that i kbow but i am blind now and can see their face in ny mind and sometimes sort of hallucinate it but it isn't the same as seeing properly if that makes sense......

Also to have fully black coloured dark hair I am not even 30 and getting grays . Rubbish lol xx

@waitingpatientlyforspring

Breastfeeding. I don't want anymore babies and I don't want to be pregnant but I did love breastfeeding so sad I will never experience that again.

Yes, me too. I loved breastfeeding. Definitely don't miss sleepless nights though!

Breastfeeding my son. I had to stop at 6 months and I still miss it - he's now 8 years old!

Give birth

Complain about his deafening snoring, even in a separate room! Lots of things like that, I lost count of the number of times I automatically got into the passenger seat when out shopping.

I don;t miss breastfeeding- I have breastfed for a total of 7 years. Very happy to see the back of that!

Thought of some more…..

Snuggle with my old cat who died at 20, he was a lovely animal.

Have wild sex with anyone I wanted. 🤣

I'm so sorry to all of you who have lost so much. I hope u can find some form of happiness .
