As I've grown up, many things I hated as a child get put into perspective. For instance, when I was a kid, I hated when adults would fight over the bill at a restaurant. I wished that one of the families would accept the generous offer and try to cover the bill next time. Now that I'm an adult, I appreciate the drama and conflama of endlessly fighting over putting your credit card down. It's not really about who pays; it's about how much of a compelling performance you can do to convince the other family that you will pay. Nobody really wants to foot a $200 dinner bill, but if you convince the others you're eating with that you want to, you might save your $200.
Redditors recently came together to share things they hated as kids but came to love once they became the older people they resented. I can't help but agree with a great deal of their answers.
