Shoulda, woulda, coulda's at my daughters pathway meeting last night and she is so juiced and excited about her future and uni her life is truly starting. Looking at uni's and courses of what she wants to do. It has made me rather envious her whole future ahead of her. So whats your missed opportunities and what would you have liked to do different or what would you say to your younger self if you could do it all over again. |

Have had a lot of missed opportunities in my life but only one regret. My son has just started to come into his own and its so lovely to watch. If my life had been different would i be the person i am today? I dont know but i pretty much like the person i am |

i would have told myself not to dick around at college so much and study.
went to the best college in my area but decided being the class clown was more interesting than studying accountancy and business.
oh where i could be right now.........
then again, i have a decent life so cant grumble too much |

You can do things if you really want to and are focused. I have retrained, studied, gained relevant qualifications. In fact I've been studying for so long that it felt strange not doing something and learning something new, which is why I enrolled on the photography course
I do wish I'd travelled more when I was younger but just have to do it now I'm an oldie |

Be happy for your daughter and remember that she is probably where she is because of you. My eldest is in his last year at Uni and he has had a great time. Like you,I just went to college and missed out on all the fun but I take pride in my son having achieved what he has. |

Oh I am so happy for her its unreal and she is coming from a hard working single mum lol living on a council estate. And she can achieve everything she has ever dreamed of she has seen how hard it has been for me at times and that's what pushes her forward even more.

No regret with the choices that I have made.
I may have one or two regrets, however, I would not have done anything differently even if I had the opportunity to turn back the clock.
As I have said before, I cannot change the past, however, I can influence the future. And I live and make the most of the present.

I went back to university at the age of 38.
I had a whale of a time and got a politics degree and now....... I have my dream job.
It's never too late to do anything you want. |

We had the opportunity to emigrate a few years back but didn't for family commitments. Looking back maybe we should have gone who knows. |

"The only regrets that you should have are about things that ya havent done xx"
Those words used in an Orbital track
Only regrets I had is staying with an ex for too long under the fear of her taking her own life.
I hit an all time low but at home and work but got out eventually.
I sincerely hope she's better now but I've met my soul mate now. Never could I have dreamed of meeting someone so compatible and right for me.
She even takes Paypal. |

Well there you go and it sounds like your daughter will continue to push on.You may decide to use that as the trigger to push on yourself in whatever direction you choose to take.
I know how tough it can be as a single parent,my wife died some years ago but despite losing their mum so young my children have not let that stop them pushing on too.
Give yourself a pat on the back |
