“It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.”
I had a great childhood. I was the first born and favorite daughter!! Ok, maybe I was the ONLY daughter but I was still the favorite one!
I don’t look at the “oops’s” in my life and blame it on my upbringing, my Mother, my Father or anyone else. I had probably fewer adventures than most. I never pushed the boundaries, I was a rule follower. We stuck close to home, maybe the occasional visit to relatives who all lived in state. We played outside a lot, and not with fancy toys. There was minimal TV, and then what ever program we watched was determined by my Father. Walt Disney and Bonanza come to mind.
We had one phone, kids didn’t really use it to communicate till maybe high school. Even then, since it was in the kitchen where everyone listened, there weren’t many conversations over the wires. Our conversations were face to face. The first time I was dishonest with my parents, I was a Senior in High School and it was re: a date. I got caught. Like I said, not many “adventures”!
If the second childhood is up to me, I can only hope that I do as good a job on this next one as I did on the last one! I will, however, be looking for more adventures this time around!
