When I was a kid I wanted but never got the ITT Combat Radio

In the 1970s I would look into the radio shop window on my way home from school and drool over this!

What did you want but never got as a kid?

    Ballet and riding classes, lol :) Also I always wanted to see the boars in the woods close to us but never got to see any. There was an old man in the woods whose hobby it was to observe the wildlife there. He told me so much about boars that I still have this weird huge love for them. Oh, and these bad boys:

    Dance classes, hair crimpers and boobies. And to ride a bike, an ambition finally fulfilled at 30 :)
    Don't think the others are going to happen now!

    I wanted a baby elephant when I was six years old, and boy did my dad have a time explaining me that yes of course he loved me, but wanting an elephant is a ridiculous request. I actually still want one, but I am obviously not equipped or qualified to own a pet elephant and realize how crazy that dream is. Lol

    I REALLY wanted to go to Europe. I was enchanted when my father went there on business a couple of times. I almost asked him to bring me back a handful of foreign soil. (Yeah, I know- Customs wouldn't allow that.) But it was the 1960s/1970s, we lived in Ohio, I was one of 5 kids, and my parents were saving to put us through college. Europe was not even in the budget, even when a group from my HS went there and rented a camper. (Two teachers, married to each other, chaperoned.) but, I grew up, I got an education and a good job, and I've lost track of how many times I've crossed that Atlantic, both business and vacation. I've joked that I've spent my whole life making up for not going to Europe as a kid. Sometimes when you don't give your kids everything they're motivated to get it themselves.

    I also wanted a makeup station that consisted of a large doll's face, with hair you could style and a bunch of cosmetics you could apply. I was about 10. My mother said heck no. Now I haven't worn makeup for decades- don't like the way it feels on my face, DH thinks I'm fine without it- and my mother keeps trying to encourage me to wear it!
  • Yep me too lol!!! I sooo wanted this and never got, so glad i had kids, they soon got one pmsl!

    I desperately wanted a Mr Frosty... they looked so cool..... but it was never to be....

    They are super easy to build. I made some in middle school.

    One of those motorized cars (a Barbie one), a pogo ball (too klutzy for this), and a Popple. I had a mini one, but I wanted a regular-sized one.

    When I was a kid I prayed every day for a bike, but then I realized god doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.
