If you could change one thing about how you were raised, what would it be and why? What would you do differently, had you been in your parents' shoes?

ten years later. Because i'd be ten years younger, well joking aside i think that the rapid increase in user technology would of help my under standing about tech even further.

If I were in my parents shoes, I wouldn't be a hypocrite and step on my Kids dreams. I would also not punish him for telling the truth which forced him to become an adept liar.

If I'd been in my parents shoes, I'd have quit smoking (both my folks have been hardcore cigarette smokers since they were ~18 years of age) when I had children.

It's taken me 37 years to realize they, quite simply, cannot quit the nicotine habit to save their life (lives, in this case.)

One good thing came out of it, though -- neither my brother, nor I, smoke. I've never smoked, and my brother went through a very short phase of smoking cigars.

I'd make it end sooner. And with less trying to be "by the book"

It would have been done in or near Seattle, so I wouldn't have to wait for a good job offer to move there :0

  • I wish I hadn't been allowed to have so much sugar and soda. Took me decades to get off it.
  • I wish my Dad had used the grill more and the kitchen less.
