I know what my answer to this is!
SNOW.
I loved it as a kid because it meant staying home from school and getting to play outside all day.
But as an adult?
Ugh…it’s horrible.
What was awesome as a kid but sucks as an adult?

“Capri-Suns for some reason and Mountain Dew.
It’s like literally drinking acid water mixed with sharpened thumb tacks.”
“Water Parks.
Now all I see is p**s in the pool and a gaggle of judgmental teens.”
“Teenagers.
As a kid, teenagers are the coolest and you cannot wait to be one
As an adult they are just stupid brats.”
“Going to the mall.
I used to like browsing stores, but now I just want to get what I need and go.”
“Losing a tooth.
Can you imagine running around showing your family: “Look! I lost a tooth! Doesn’t it make me look adorable?”
And when you are a kid, a lost tooth makes you money. $$ As an adult, it costs you way more than all the money the tooth fairy ever gave you.”
“Getting mail.
I remember everyday begging my parents if I got mail. (I had pen pals). I got so excited when something came for me.
Now I dread going to the mailbox because all that will be there are bills.”
“Spinning in circles.
I try to do that now while holding my little one and I do about two spins before I’m lightheaded and dizzy as a d**nk.”
“The State Fair.
Especially now that I have to pay for everything.”
“People coming to your house to visit and stay a few days.
I love my friends so much but holy s**t I get so anxious having to keep people entertained for more than a night.
On that same note however it is great having those friends that you are close enough with to come hang out and just exist next to each other.”
“Staying awake till 2 in the morning as a teen/young adult: “Yea baby!! the possibilities are ENDLESS!!
Staying awake till 2 in the morning as a 40-something: “This is gonna hurt in the morning”.”
“Snow day.
I either have to take vacation time or make up those hours, and I’m going to spend the whole morning shoveling my d**n driveway.”
“My parents took us to Disney World for a week as kids.
I went for 4 days with my husband a few years ago and wanted to go home with how expensive everything was.
I went home and thanked my parents for that trip.”
