When you were a child, you swore that you would never do things you saw adults doing. However, as an adult you have found yourself doing some of those things.
There is a thread on Reddit addressing that very subject. Below are some of the things people have shared that they now do that they swore they never would when they were young.
1. Bird watching . . . “I used to think it was the WORST way someone could spend their time . . . but 20 years later and I’m obsessed with birds.”
2. Gardening . . . “Growing up, working in the garden was a punishment.”
3. Giving up on creativity. One person said that as a kid, they wanted to be an artist, and insisted they’d NEVER get a job working for The Man. And well . . .
4. Stop liking new music. Now, they just listen to music they liked growing up.
5. Going to bed early . . . voluntarily.
6. Telling your kid, “Because I said so.” Another person added, “I thought I’d never say ‘While you live under my roof, you live by my rules.’ And I just said it to my 17-year-old.”
7. Owning a minivan.
8. Eating broccoli . . . and actually enjoying it.
9. Getting a dog . . . and putting clothes on it.
10. The “get off my lawn” thing . . . “I used to think it was silly that people cared about their lawn so much. I am now obsessed with manicuring my lawn.”
What is something YOU do that you swore when you were young you never would do?
