(60,015 posts)I'd spend more time asking my relatives about their lives - genealogy has some dead ends that they may have helped with.
I'd have adjusted my interactions with my daughters when in school - they are both wonderful girls doing well enough in their married life, but my own job made me pretty impatient with them when helping them on homework, etc - sometimes I brought too much of my frustration with my job into the home and wasn't as "present" as I could have or should have been
I may have taken a different college/career path, since what I did as a job is so different from what I love to do as hobbies - then again, if I HAD to do my hobbies I'd probably not enjoy them as much.
Finally, I would have loved to learn to read music when young. I have a really good ear and natural ability, but would love the foundational stuff too.
