Things you now do/have that you used to make fun of old people for doing/having?

Kids

Swollen prostate

Pickleball paddle. I wish this hipster fad would die out already.

When I was a young man I used to mock people who had wives and children and a structured home life.

Now that I'm old and have a wife, kids and grandkids all I can do is mock myself

I used to go on a recovery jog a day or two after a hard race. Two days post 1/2 marathon in the mountains is Georgia and this morning I asked my wife to help me put my pants on.

Sleeping wrong. When I was young I thought old people were full of shite about this. If I slept now in some of the situations I slept in when I was younger (bathtub) I would die.

Standing up slowly, with a slight hunch while beginning to walk, until eventually straightening out the posture to begin a more normal walk.

It’s like I’m demonstrating the evolution of man every time I rise from a seated position.

Hangovers and plastic covering everything (Which I don't do, but I get it now. )

Minivan. Young me said he'd never drive one

Old me is wise enough to realize he was wrong and they are safe, roomy and the perfect family vehicle

That's a good one. I passed out on the living room floor last year after a fun night. Woke up several hours later frozen stiff and couldn't unwind for at least a full day after.
