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?

Es

Oh this is a sad thread :(

Water skiing. .

I’d never get out of the water now on 2 skis now, never mind on one.

Speak to my dad.
Have a toddler.
Go on a date (haha)

Hear properly

I will never again hold my own newborn baby. No more babies for me 😞

To deeply kiss and be kissed in return by a partner who truly loves me .

To be able to talk to my oldest child and say how sorry I am we lost contact before he died 16 years ago next week .

Have a snog. Have sex.

Ride a motorbike (probably).

Ring my Mum to talk about nothing.
Have a stretch-mark-free belly.
Ask my Dad's advice.
Kneel down without it being a Herculean effort not to hurt my knees.
Have a duvet day snuggled up with my children...well, I could but they're in their late 20s/30s & would squash me if they sat on my lap

Walking on a cobbled surface and worrying I will break my ankle. Likewise wearing heels and walking on any surface without worrying I will break my ankles.

Be aged 18-21 and go out drinking every night and had a bizillion different pals.

This thread is so sad. I feel for all those who have lost dhs or dcs. I lost my parents and a sibling when quite young, but at least losing parents is the natural order of things, even if beastly.

On a trivial note, I wish I could regain the feeling of my Jackie magazine plopping onto the doormat, the thrill of the new Top Forty, and shopping with my mum in Chelsea Girl (then River Island) for a new outfit for a disco in the village hall….. I feel sorry for teens now; my experience was so…. carefree I suppose. Bloody social media.

Have a little warm pudgy hand in mine

Be loved.

Be able to speak to my parents.

Be a teenager and experience the excitement of first love.

BF my baby
Have sex for the first time with a new man
Get excited buying kids first uniforms etc for school

Be able to sit in the park in summer getting nicely buzzed with my friends because I was a teenager and had zero responsibilities. Oh the freedom to just exist like I did back then.

A pregnancy. I was denied another child by my DH.

So many things.
Hug my Mum
Most ofine involve walking more than about 200 metres. I have bad arthritis.
In particular walk down long steep track toy favourite beach. Walk back up again was very hard before Covid.
Walk around zoo/Safari park with dd and dgc.

Long haul flight.

@endofthelinefinally, sorry about your DS. I too retired, at 57, 3 years later I can't walk more than about 150 metres on a good day and less on a bad day. I have to remind dd I can't go to zoo/Safari park with dgc any more. I have to remind DH I can't get down steep and long slope to our favourite beach anymore. It is sad watching but not always being able to join in.

Have another baby.
When I had my DS I envisioned we would have a second child, I dreamed of having a little girl.
Now that dream is gone and he will be an only, not just for financial reasons but also because mentally I don't think we could cope with another young child again and working.
I wish I appreciated those early days more.

Be secure in the knowledge that somebody loves me, and we'll meet all life's ups and downs together.

Two failed marriages. I won't trust anyone again. I miss that wonderful feeling of thinking I'm actually loved and valued.

Pregnancy/breastfeeding/newborn/baby/toddler

Im both sad and a bit relieved.

Going raving and to free Parties. MDMA/ecstasy or getting blind drunk and feeling like I was floating to the music.

I'm both sad and a bit relieved about that too.

There's a bit of my who would absolutely love to be a kid and go back to school. It looks like so much more fun than being a grown up! I would love to swap with my DC 😆

Get ready for a night out not knowing how (or with who) the night will end
