I think I'd have to go further back than eight for that. Most of the misery
I still carry around with me was gained at the cruel hands of pre-teen
children. Pre-school would be a better time. But think of the lack of
choice! Also I don't think my parents would be up for it.

I'm with you. All my favourite memories of childhood were when I was alone. Life began at when I left school and went to a VI form college where I met and befriended some actual human beings instead of evil little onfgneqf. I was stunned, for 16 years I had assumed I was unbefriendable.


For me, adulthood is pretty good. But I spend quite a lot of my time playing - playing with the kids, playing with fabric, playing with yarn, playing with music, playing with food. I have just enough zbarl that it's not a struggle, but not enough that it's a burden, and I'm not willing to sacrifice a single jot of quality-of-life in exchange for more zbarl. The kids are less effort and more fun as they get bigger and bigger, and this year for the first time in 7 years I have a significant amount of time to myself. I could do with more Real Life (tm) friends who "get" me - but that's what the Shed is for. Other than that, I reckon I'm pretty jammy.
