Poll:What would the 8yr old you think of you now

I stole this from the NJ Nesties I thought it was a cute poll!

I think she would be happy that I am married to a great guy and that we own a house with a nice yard. But she would be disappointed that we don't have children yet, she wanted to be a mom and have a ton of kids. She also would be disappointed that I am not a teacher.

    I think she would think, "No kids?", "what happened, you were the tallest kid in 3rd grade?"

    ?and , "WOW, you got fat!"

    ?

    other than that?image??I think she would see that I am most of the things I wanted to be when I grew up. ?

    Interesting...

    I think she'd be upset that I didn't have a dog.  I also think she'd be disappointed that I didn't marry Scott Baio or Luke Skywalker (was his name Scot Hamilton?).

    She would say, "why don't you have 4 kids yet??" and "why aren't you a teacher anymore?"... but she would think that my DH is the most amazing man - more than she could have dreamed of... and that my house is too small :)

    I think she would be pleased that I am teaching but thinking that I should have kids by now and there's no way she would've thought I would have battled cancer!

    I think she would be proud of me in general - I grew up to be just as stubborn and independent as I was as a child - but I think she'd be disappointed that I don't write anymore (not creatively at least - I still do tons of technical writing) - and she'd also probably freak out at all my tattoos - and like pp said she'd think "wow you got fat!"

    She'd be happy that I married such a great guy but wonder where the kids are? she wanted 8 kids.  and why are you a CPA?  she wanted to be a teacher, I think she's smarter than I am, I should have been the teacher.  :)

    Ooops, DH just told me that Scott Hamilton is that figure skater....hehe, she would not have expected me to have married him-- Mark Hamill was Luke Skywalker!

    She would have a big crush on my husband.  She would love my house and pets.  She would think it's cool that we live by the beach.  She would be glad that I grew up to look like my mom.  She would be sad that I don't have kids but she would be much much more sad that IF keeps me from being happy.

    Good question....

    I think she would be so excited I married who I did and I got over my fears of boys and found a great one. :) She would be really surprised that I don't have kids by now - 28 is old to an 8 year old!!! And, to a 28 yr old IF patient too. :( I think she'd be surprised by my career choice. She would have thought I would have done something more creative rather than analytical. I think she would have been a little sad that I have lost my carefree attitude and I am wound much tighter and more type A than she ever expected me to be. Sometimes, I wish I could bring the 8 year old back in me. :)

    She'd love that I have a wonderful husband.

    She'd be dissapointed I didn't go to med. school.

    She'd be thrilled and surprised that I have the chance to be pregnant (I already knew I'd likely never get pregnant and would adopt)

    She'd love that I'm close to my In-laws, family has always been important to me.
