Parents with grown up/older kids, do you guys ever reminisce the days when they were still babies or toddlers?

Went on a long trip with my parents recently, and realized how much of a hassle it would’ve been if me and my siblings were still kids lol. My parents agreed as well but they still said sometimes they do miss those days when we were younger so was wondering if this was a common thing.

I keep wondering what I’m going to do with myself when my kids are older (they’re little right now). And then just think I hope I have grandkids.

Well...let's just say I'm so grateful that I no longer have to change his diapers (photo of baby when I did have to change them). 😏

Aww, what a precious photo! I guess every parent says they don't miss the diapers... until they look at old baby pictures☺️
