We see you naptime
Let’s take a minute to rewind to those carefree childhood days.
You know, the ones with naps, summer breaks at school, and endless cartoon marathons.
Recently, Reddit useru/26LTasked, “What sucked as a child but is awesome as an adult?”

Here’s what people had to say:
1.“Bedtime.
As a kid, it was the worst part of the day.
But as an adult, it’s the highlight of my day.”

“Remember when veggies were like the boring relatives at a family gathering?

3.“Siblings.
My brother was SO mean to me when we were kids.

We constantly fought at home, school, the grocery store, and everywhere else.
Now we are able to spend the day together without getting into a fight!”
“Cleaning my room was a constant source of arguments with my parents.

Today, having a clean, organized space feels satisfying and helps me stay focused and calm.”
