Qotd: If you could trade places with someone for one day, who would you choose?(1/30)

If you could trade places with someone for one day, who would you choose?

That's a really interesting question! I don't have an answer because I think we see the good things in other people's lives, as opposed to the crud in our own.
I think about the movie "Freaky Friday" where the mother & daughter trade places, each thinking the others' life is so much better than their own and then realizing that's not true.

As in, being them, or being yourself and living their life for a day?

I wouldn't want to trade with anyone if I was me. I'm able to understand where people are coming from and "walk in their shoes" just fine.

However, if I could live a day as someone else, I would want to live a day as each of my boys so I could better understand how their Autism effects their daily life. I think it would make me a better mother if I could really experience what they go through.

I wouldn't want to trade with anyone else but I wouldn't mind going back and being me 10 years ago again, even just for a few days... I loved that time when my kids were so little.
