Grandchildren, (4 dc's all in their 30's none of them for various reasons are likely to have any DC's during my lifetime)

oh friends. Loads of good friends to laugh and cry with

Kids, a functional wider family, or good health.

Also krill. I've never had it, never thought to want it (how does one even eat krill?) but apparently I'm allergic, so now I want some.

I also thought I'd never lose weight or get fit, either, but that turned out to be wrong!

Good genes, I seems have to everything considered to be undesirable

A rescue farm to keep as many animals in need of refuge as I can without every running out of space or money.

Children.
A career.

Definitely slender legs and ankles. I have spent so many years worrying about how to dress appropriately for the weather/occasion without showing them. In my 40s I finally realised it doesn't matter if people know I have fat legs. I wore a short skirt and (while MIL looked a bit horrified) no traffic stopped, no lightning struck me down, noone took away everything that was important to me.... who knew??!!

But more recently- having to come to terms with ill health/loss of ability to work/inability to care for my children without assistance... I suspect those things rather helped put the legs issue in perspective.

DukeofEarlGrey hahaha I don't think my mum had even heard of e-numbers in the 70's. But we they have v little spare money & crap plastic tat wasn't a priority.

Silence, had non stop tinnitus for over ten years !!

Big boobs

Small boobs!

Having a dog. I grew up with dogs (golden retrievers) but my husband just isn't a fan. We have a cat who is lovely though (didn't rate cats till I became a cat owner)

Basically having a dog would make both my lovely husband and cat unhappy (although I would love for my baby to grow up a dog lover).

@OldTinHat

A pogo stick 😪

My mom got a hula hoop for her 60th so it is maybe possible.

Then again after Baby Big Head I sure as hell couldn't pogo!

Transcendental beauty

As a child - a loving, stable and caring family.
As an adult - financial security in my old age. Will be working forever.

A voice for my adult son. He's never spoken a word.

Clear skin, a hair-free face.

I do have a loving mother though, and that makes everything easier.

I wanted a Mr Frosty when I was a kid too, but I bet they are rubbish in reality!!

Being thick and Ugley
