Is it normal to miss being a kid?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to miss being a kid. You may be missing the freedom, comfort, or sense of possibility—not necessarily wanting to go back to every part of childhood.

Lots of people feel nostalgic for childhood, especially when adult life feels demanding or complicated. You might miss having fewer responsibilities, feeling cared for, or looking forward to little things without thinking too far ahead.

That doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for your life now or stuck in the past. Childhood had its hard parts too, and it’s possible to miss some things about it while still valuing who you are today.
