There is no way I would.... But I did...

Following on from another thread..

Is there anything you said you'd never, ever do but then did?

Allow myself to become obese, then I became disabled and a combination of factors meant massive weight gain.

Get married, have a child, be a teacher. Turns out they're the greatest joys in my life!

I thought I'd never not love being pregnant. Then hyperemesis struck with DC3 and I'd probably rather die than ever get pregnant again.

Like @RippleEffects I was never going to live on a modern estate in a suburb. We were city centre townhouse dwellers. We left the cramped early 1900s townhouse with zero outside space and are absolutely loving our newish build semi complete with lovely neighbours in suburbia.

Run. ANYWHERE. Now halfway through the C25K and loving it!

Ahhhh co-sleeping. No regrets on that one.

Get a cat. Let her sleep in my bed. Call her madam fluffypaws and baby her ridiculously.

Get married. As a bisexual who always preferred women and grew up pre-2000, I never thought it would be possible...

Shockers I said exactly the same about Dubai and similarly should have stuck to my guns.

Take a dozen teenage boys out for DSs birthday - i was so shy and quiet when I was younger - I never dreamed i'd dare, but you do stuff for your kids, don't you :-)?
It was fun, and even better when people said later 'wow, I wouldn't have done that!'

Let children's clutter take over house...ha ha, can't move for the crapola now.

Live in a modern house. Now live in one and realise the difference in comfort and convenience that we would have been missing out on otherwise. Where I live, to buy a Victorian or Georgian property gets you about 50% of the size of a modern one at the same price. We've put our own stamp on it and given it life and personality. Plus when we've lived in old ones before they've always been fabulous and full of character, but freezing and a pain in the arse! Soooo very happy with our decision.

Get married and have children. Never wanted to do either. Then I met DH and he wanted to do both. Married 8 years. Two DC.

Co-sleep now anything for a peaceful night

Get back together with an ex (DP wasn't sure about having children, but a month apart changed his mind and now he's all for it! though I want 4 and he reckons 2 )
Get a dog (not a fan but DP has always wanted a German shepherd I think he actually wants 2 but there is a limit )

I'd never move to London ... then I did

Marry, find someone who would want to be with me as much As I wanted to be with them (major parent issues)
Bj
Dummies got kids/tv/sit in their room whilst they fall asleep/bf (ds it two and we are tailing off and I'm a trained peer supporter)
Watch game of thrones
Have another dog/baby
Redecorate! Every time

Rossigigi, yes! I was the same!

Nestofvipers, I think we'd get along... that's one of my other 'not even if it was free' holidays!

Participate in a gang bang...

I said no big birthday parties for dds while their little, ended up with 29 kids soft play - total rip off, but dd said she had the best day ever, so worth it. bank balance doesn't agree lol

No screen babysitter
Bum love

im sure there's more lol

Run - I love it
get divorced (ha take that smug married twat)
Drive

Live near a target for nuclear weapons. (1980s)
Live within a mile of one now.

Another one for bum sex it's actually quite fun

Always said I'd never have kids. Two DCs now!

Buy a new build house. I should know better due to my job but I still did it (albeit not with a large builder like Barratt, Redrow, Persimmon etc).
