I Want to Be a Better Person

Overall, more income to the household. This would lead to better nutrition for all residents of household, ability to afford lessons for subjects children in the household are interested in, ability to afford necessary tools for continued education outside of the classroom.

Greater involvement by both parents, rather than locking a child in their bedroom and forcing them to write multiplication tables 100 times each. That may be considered child abuse today, and I wasn't real thrilled with it at the time, but I survived it with no lasting damage.

I was born at the end of WWII. If I had my way and could change the past, my otherwise intelligent parents would've dropped out of the Communist Party (CPUSA) at the time of the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939.

Nothing. I was raised in a very caring and loving home.

More time with my grandfather.

Everything

My mom had two kids when she married my dad, then had three more. It didn't work. It works for some families, but it added stress, disfunction and unhappiness to ours.

I would have liked to have been locked in my room with all my toys forever and never allowed to leave the house or forced to go to school.

I had a good up bringing, I made a few mistakes in life but have learned from them and they were no part of the way I was raised

I'm sure you can guess because we've discussed it before.

I’d be loved, wanted, and encouraged to do well, and when I did do well, it would be recognized.

My mum wouldn't have died when I was 9 years old..

Inch shorter

I wouldn't be who I am today so I can't say I would change anything
