I am jealous and envy 3-5 year olds for their innocence , cuteness , youthful looks and tiny bodies , the fact that everyone loves them and want to protect them , they can say anything and do alot of things that they can get away with BUT i'd love to have a little girl as cute and even cuter than the kids i am jealous of , i wont be jealous of my daughter since she is part of me .Is it normal ?

    The only thing I miss about being a kid is being carefree, not having to worry about the future or anything. But there's a lot of things I couldn't do when I was little that I can do now. I couldn't drive back then, or go anywhere without my parents, etc... but it's normal to miss childhood. The jealousy part, not so much.

    YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE!!!
    lol, kidding... yeah its normal - I wish I was a kid again - not for many of the reasons you are jealous of them, but yeah, childhood was pretty epic. Tho when I was a kid, I wanted to be older how ironic bla bla bla

    I would certainly envy them for their lack of responsibility. They dont have to worry about anything, every single thing they could possibly need is provided to them by someone else. I wouldnt really care about the attention of everyone though.

    Thats what makes being rich so attractive, if you are rich enough its like being a baby again, except you are old enough to appreciate it.

    I get jealous of celebrities kids. Only because they'll have all things I couldn't when I was younger and that their births are usually annocued in the NY times. I mean c'mon, how cool is that!?

    You shouldn't be jealous of them. True the majority gets to live life carefree and what not, but you should think about all the things they can't do. They're extremely dependant on their parents, they have no real "freedom",etc. You should be Thankful that you're now an adult who can do for themselves.

    On The subject of "youth", it's normal to be scared to age but ageing is inevitable as all other "life events" are. If you eat and live healthy and stay young on the inside, it can also make you look "youthful" on the outside.

    i wish i was a child sometimes it was like a sort of feeling when you where younger that everyday was special.
    but i never feel jealous of kids these days because i had my turn and i grew up they will to but let them have their childhood, anyone who would be jealous of wee kids really has a big problem and its kind of weird.

    eh, not so much for me. cos don't forget there's things you can't do at that age...

    you can't really do everything you want cos mommy and daddy make the rules not you. and you have no independence

    Your admiration of children is normal. Your jealousy however, is not.
