Things you never ever want to do again

[ThomasinaGallico]

Just for balance, because the thread below is making me feel a bit down…

What are you overjoyed to finally see the back of?

For me: The toddler years. Potty training. The school run and its politics. Ridiculous primary school homework for the parents.

Going further back: boring Sundays with church and bad music. Nothing to do on Sundays because nothing was open. Being bullied at school. Having to ask permission for seemingly absolutely everything.

The past wasn’t all rose tinted.

@BrutusMcDogface I came on to say Go Ape! Genuinely the most terrifying thing I've done!

A canal boat holiday
School pick ups

Have a baby, because of post natal depression and anxiety. It has always been a part of my life but it is an especially spicy duo after having children.

@MrsSugar

Mines a bit grim…

I never ever want to be ushered into a relatives room at a&e to sit and await devastating news

That and hearing those 5 dreaded words of I'm sorry there's no heartbeat. Are by far the 2 most shittiest things I've gone through

Pregnancy, giving birth, baby years, toddler years, and pre teenage years LOL Didn't mind teenage years, they were fun

Going to college , actually I loved my college days but hated studying

Dealing with DD's father, couldn't stand him. Glad she's a young adult now.

One night stands.

Having to raise any children between the ages of 2-4. They're actual goblins.

I am relieved how many people say the todder years. I've got two under 5 and when i see people on here saying it's the best bit it makes me want to cry! I really don't think I will miss this bit.

Standing on the pavement clapping while ex-DP runs past in his ridiculous lycra. Or cycles, or swims. Twat.

You wont. I dont. I finally love being their mum now, all 3 are between 5&9 now

Being a child Having no control over my life

Having at wait a week to watch an programme and st a certain time

Never ever again will I have to listen to my self absorbed mother witter on about how bloody wonderful she is, and how inferior I am.

Abseil
Give birth
Desperately try not to cough while sitting next to a smoker because it would be rude

@PuppyMonkey beat me to it!
So grateful I don't have to give birth again.

Gosh I can't believe someone has put foreign films on here! That's quite a big category to eliminate all at once!

For me it's the inflexibility of being tied to the school run twice a day, every week day in term time, for what felt like years and years and years ... .

Eternally grateful to know I will never have to go camping with my XH again.

For years I thought I wasn't an 'outdoors person' and hated camping.

5.5 years post separation I e realised I just didn't like being outdoorsy and camping with him!

Well, just about all of the things you mentioned.

Plus exams, camping, nightclubbing (always hated them), school PE lessons (humiliation and torture), giving birth.

I'm sure plenty more will occur to me.

Wear high heels (impossible with bunions) 😂

Flying

Travelling anywhere
Bars/dancing
Staying out past 7pm

Oh, and as many are saying, I will never wear high heels ever again. I haven't for years either and I certainly don't miss the

I don't know how I ever managed to walk in high heels when I was younger (and foolish). I'm more practical and sensible now.
